the English, from whom the place derives its name, came to him and said
he was on their claim ; he would not leave, and thev told him there were
twenty of them, and asked him what he could do. He told them he could
make the prairie smell worse of dead British than h — 1 did of brimstone;
they had many fights, and he carried the scars to his grave, but he took
one side of the prairie and divided it with his friends." He served in the
War of 181 2 and the Black Hawk War. Died Feb. 26, 1S66.

Nor was his busy life devoted entirely to his own enterprises ; he was
appointed after the close of the Civil War, collector of internal revenue for
the district made up of Kennebec and Lincoln counties, a position which he
held tor ten years; while serving in tiiis capacity he removed to Hallowell.
Me., where he lived and died. He also served as reprt.\sentative for several
years, and was manv vears one of the aldermen of Hallowell, becoming in
1874, m'lyor of that city. He was president of the American National bank
of Hallowell, and was interested- in large ways in many other educational,
commercial, and religious organizations. With this complex public and
business life, ?vlr, Sanborn was a man of rare virtues in his private life, —
the center of an atlectionate and devoted t'amily circle. He was indeed
esteemed in all the relations of lite, as a man of intelligence and stanch
integrity, capable, prudent, energetic, and taitht'ul. His wisdom and public
spirit were relied upon in every emergency by his triends and the
community in which he lived. Foremost in every good educational move-
ment, he was for many years a trustee and president of the board of trustees
of the Hallowell Classical academy. His high standing was shown by the
fact that when he was for a second time elected mayor of his city, he
received every vote cast, save one. Married (i) Desdemona, dau. ot

March 7, 1814. His early life was spent in Kingston, N. H., where he
was engaged with his uncle Moses in the tanning and currying busmess.
At the ace of twentv-one he returned to Readfield and pursued that busi-
ness, in connection with the oilcloth business, in company with his brother,
Hon. Peter F. Sanborn, under the well-known firm name of P. F. & J. A.

Sanborn. He was a man of Lfreal slrenLTth and firmness of character,
and found time in 'nis busy life to take a deep interest in the family geneal-
ogy ; the papers of Dyer II. Sanborn contain many long and interest
ing letters from him. Mr. Sanborn continued actively engaged in busi-
ness enterprises, and in 1S73 removed to Ilallowell, Me., making that
city his home. While in Readfield, he filled many posts of trust and
responsibility, serving as selectman, representative, and state senator.
With characteristic modestv in one of his letters to Dyer II. Sanborn
he places this side of his life in the background, but his public lite de-
mands recognition in this memorial. He served on the executive council,
and acted for many years as state treasurer. He was for many years a
distinct power in Kennebec county politics, formerly as a whig, and in later
years as a stanch Republican. He died July 15, 1877, and at the time of
his death was a director in many wealthy banks in Readfield and Auburn.
He was an active member of the Methodist church and one of the trustees of
the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. He was deeply interested in all commer-
cial, moral, and relifiious movements, lendino;; the wei<rht of his lar<xe inllu-
ence to help them forward ; he was also a man of great energy and ability.
A near relative of Mr. Sanborn's has said that he was a most lovable char-
acter, and an ideal companion for his younger relatives. He married Feb.

Oct. 17, 1855, he married Mary A., daughter of the Rev. W. P. Wastell,

Durincr the Civil War, since he was unable to become a soldier himself,
he remained at home to care for the family, while two of his brothers
entered the army, and the third, at that time an invalid, sent a substitute.
He also assisted in raising regiments, and throughout the terrible struggle
gave constant patriotic service.
In 1867, he was appointed Collector of Customs for the district of Huron,
Mich., an otiice which he held for four terms, or sixteen years. In 1S84,
he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and was elected
a member of the Republican National Committee. He was also a member

by the seventh district of ?klichigan in 1S86, and was reelected a member
of the Republican committee in 18S8, thus serving on this committee for
eight years.
From 1878 to 1S92 he was engaged in various public enterprises, and
from 1882 to 1 891 was president of the Port Huron & Northwestern Rail-
way. Always generous and ptiblic spirited, he has given his best service
to his friends, and to his city, state, and country.

THE AMERICAN SANBORN^. S^?
979. Gen. Wielia.m (390) Saxborx, born in Belgrade, Me., Nov. 2,
1S34. His parents, while he was yet an infant, removed to the village of
Falmouth, six miles from Portland, where the family continued to reside
until the death of his father, Dr. Benjamin Sanborn, in 1846. Lett an
orphan at that earl}- age, he did not long remain in school, but the next
vear, entered the office of the Portland Advertiser as a printer's apprentice.
lie remained there for a time, and afterwards worked in the office of the
Ari^as, published in the same city, being employed in the two offices for
about a year. In 1S49, he removed to Detroit, Mich. When about eighteen
years of age, he began '' land-looking" in the employ of several large lum-
ber firms of Michigan, and in this service he traversed a good portion ot the
then unknown territory of Michigan, which afterwards proved to be the
richest lumber lands of the world. In this kind of work he early mani-
fested great skill and judgment, to which qualities on his part several Mich-
ijian lumbermen owe a large share of their fortunes.
In 1S57, he went into mercantile business at Port Huron, Mich., which
thereafter he counted as his home. In the next year he was married to
Mary E., daughter of John Howard, Esq., one of the pioneers of Michi-
gan. During 1S59 ^"*^ 1S60. though retaining his business interests at
Port Huron, he was employed at the state capital as Deputy Commissioner
of the State Land Office during the term of his uncle, Hon. James W. San-
born, as Commissioner. -'■ '; ■ '
At the breaking out of the war, he was engaged in a large and lucrative
business, but before the struggle had progressed a year, Mr. Sanborn's
sense of duty compelled him to leave his business and family and enter the
army, which he did, joining the Twenty-second Michigan Infantry (three
companies of whicli were recruited by him in the vicinity of Port Huron)
in the capacity of Major. The regiment left the state early in the fall of
1862, and Governor Wisner dying soon after, Lieut. -Col. Heber Letavour
succeeded to the command and Major Sanborn to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy.
The regiment was first stationed on Covington Fleights, along with other
troops kept on duty in that vicinity to protect Cincinnati, threatened by
Kirby Smith's forces. It wintered at Lexington, Ky., and in the spring
went to Nashville, where it was employed in provost duty. In September,
1863, the regiment proceeded by rail to Stevenson. Ala., where it marched
over the mountains to Chattanooga. During a considerable part of the
time after the regiment took the tleld. Colonel Lefavour was on detached
service, so that Lieutenant-Colonel Sanborn was in command. He was a
very strict disciplinarian, which tact did not at first make him popular with

the men, though it made the regiment one of the most efficient Micliigan
sent out. As the men became better acquainted with him, however, and
learned to understand his generous, iiigh-minded cliaracter, they realized
that his rigorous discipline was for their own good, and became greatly
attached to him.
Though it took part in several skirmisiies, the regiment was not in any
general enr<-a£rement until the terrible ficrht at Chickamauga, on that mem-
orable Sunday, Sept. 20, 1S63, in Steadman's Brigade of Gen. Gordon
Granger's reserve corps. During Saturday's tight, it was on the extreme
left, protecting the road to Chattanooga. On Sunday, about noon, that
reserve that was precipitated at double quick upon the enemy at the turn-
ing-point of the battle. None of his comrades who were in that terrible
fray will ever forget Lieutenant-Colonel Sanborn's bravery on that day..
He knew no such feeling as fear, but without once looking back to see
whether his men were following him or not, he led in that wild, terrible
charge on the enemy. The regiment was nearly annihilated, as was evi-
denced by the fact that nine out of eleven of the color guard fell in the
fight. About 3 o'clock, while at the front, just ahead of the colors, waving
his men on in the charge, Lieutenant-Colonel Sanborn was most severely
wounded, a bullet crashing through his foot, entering in front just above
the toe and coming out below his ankle. Everv one of his men was
struck w^ith sorrow to see their brave commander disabled, and many were
the words of sympathy and grief as he was borne from the field. The sur-
geons desired to amputate the loot, which was terribly shattered, but he
would not consent. He was taken to Chattanooga, thence to Bridgeport,
where Major Scarrett of the Tenth Michigan Infantry, and other acquain-
tances, made arrangements for his transfer to Nasliville. His wife and
brothers visited him at Nashville, and finally secured his removal home.
His wound was of a peculiarly painful character, and his suflerings intense.
During his transportation to Bridgeport his wound was not dressed for lour
davs, which lack of attention greatlv ajrfii'avated the inflammation.
His recovery was very slow after his return home, and, in fact, he never
regained his old strength, for his wound had sapped his vital powers ; nor
was he able to return to the field, thougii President Lincoln conferred upon
him the rank of brevet Brigadier-General for his gallantry in the battle
of Chickamaucja.
He resumed his business pursuits, and took a prominent part in the poli-
tics of Michigan, having been elected in 1S66 to the state senate, in which
body he was an influential and useful member, serving as chairman 01 the

Committee on Public Lands, and also on the Committee on ^Military Affairs.
He was a forcible and impressive speaker, and never failed to exert great
influence over any body of men with whom he acted. This and his place
as Deputy Commissioner of the State Land Office were the only civil offices
General Sanborn ever held, but both positions he filled with rare fidelity
and ability. In the winter of i875-'76, President Grant honored him by
appointing him secretary of the Territory of Arizona, but on account of
his feeble health he was compelled to decline the appointment.
From the day of his wound his health began to fail. He had been a
man of remarkable powers of physical endurance and iron constitution, but
he slowly wasted awa}-, and in the autumn of 1S73 went to a Southern
climate for luncr trouble. He derived some benefit from a visit to north-
ern Alabama, but was not benefited by a trip he made in the winter of
i873-'74 to Florida. In the summer of 1874 ^^^ w'ent to Colorado, and
spent the winter and spring at San Diego, Cal., seeming to be much bene-
fited. In the summer of 1875 ^^^ returned to Denver, Col., but the season
was not favorable, and he did not improve. While in Salt Lake City that
fall, he contracted a severe cold, and though he returned to the salubrious
climate of San Diego, he continued to fail slowly, but surely, until his
death. Everything that medical skill, loving care of t'riends (his wife and
sister having been with him during all his sojourn in California) could do
was done for him, but without avail, and June 24, thousands of miles away
from home, after years of terrible suffering, the brave soldier sank to rest
in the sleep that knows no waking.
None of Michigan's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the war — for
General Sanborn died just as much a martyr to the cause of the Union and
Liberty as if the bullet that consigned him to a lingering death of years
had instantly blotted out his life there on the bloody field of Chickamauga,
where fell so many of his brave comrades — was more universally beloved
and admired than he. And he deserved the respect and affection of his
fellow-men w^hich he enjoyed in such full measure. He was every inch
a man.

Generous, high-spirited, chivalrous, the soul of honor, noble and true,
William Sanborn never <iave anv man cause to feel towards him anv other
sentiments than those of respect and good-will. No comrade, friend, or

death of him whom they had cause to remember so gratefully and tenderly.
He was an aflectionate son and brother, a loving husband, a kind, indul-
gent parent, and a liberal, public-spirited citizen and patriot, as charitable
in opinion as he was humane and benevolent in deeds.

1064. Dr. Bigelow Thatcher (439) Sanborn, was born in the town
ot" Standisli, jMe.,July 11, 1839. Brought up on a farm, he contracted
those habits ot" industry and frugality which have contributed so much in
making New EngLind men successful in whatever they undertake. He
finished his academic course at Limington Academ}', one of the oldest and
best institutions in the state.
After some deliberation, he wisely made the choice of the protession of
medicine as his field of future labor and usefulness, and after a three years'
course of hard study, graduated at the medical school of Bowdoin College
with distinguished honors. On this account, bv the recommendation of the
medical faculty, he was immediately selected as first assistant physician in
the Maine State Insane Hospital, in the vear 1S66. He served in this
capacity for seventeen years, and during this long period was eminently
successful and won the esteem and entire confidence of the official man-
agement of the institution. When the late distinguished and beloved Dr.
H. M. Harlow retired, on account of physical disabilities, from the super-
intendency of the Maine State Insane Hospital, where he had spent nearly
forty years of active and efiicient service. Dr. Sanborn was found adequate
to meet the demands of the occasion, and in 1S82 was elected and assumed
the responsibilities of superintendent of the hospital.
He immediately spent several months in investigating the workings of
similar institutions in other states, thus early bringing to the management
of his own charge the most advanced practice and modern modes of the
older and larger hospitals, and a professional knowledge of the most
approved features in the practical workings of the best asylums in the
country. He has always been an assiduous student in medicine, and par-
ticularly in that department of mental disease to which he has given thus
far his lite work. His many medical essays, delivered at stated meetings
of the profession in this and other states, have been considered as works of
original thought and research, and have always been received with t'avor-
able consideration.
His large experience in mental diseases has frequently brought him into
the courts, where the judgment and evidence of so distinguished an expert
404 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
have gi-eat weight and influence in determining personal cases of insanity,
where responsibility and justice should be carefully considered. Consulta-
tions in regard to insanity outside the routine work of the hospital have
been and are continuallv beincr sought and arranged bv anxious families
with Dr. Sanborn, and he has always responded, when oflicial duties
would admit, thus securing the thanks and good-will of manv citizens.
The several yearly reports of the trustees of the insane hospital furnish
the best evidence of the consideration and esteem which have followed Dr.
Sanborn in the discharge of his duties during twentv-seven vears of active
service, which was manit'ested several years ago by giving one of the large
buildings of the hospital the name of" Sanborn Hall." While Dr. Sanborn
is everywhere known as an educated, painstaking, and careful physician,
he also unites the qualifications of a practical mechanic and business man,
which are so essential in the management of the physical wants and eco-
nomic demands of a great state institution.
The " History of Kennebec County, ]Maine," says : "The two large hos-
pital buildings in the centre of the background of the institution were
erected under the superintendence of Dr. Sanborn in 188S-9 ; in fact, less
than one half of the present equipment of the institution was in existence
when he was elected assistant physician in 1S66, and nearly one halt ot the
buildings have been erected under his supervision. It is a great credit to
the commonwealth of Maine that the existence and etliciency of so liberal
a charity to unfortunate humanity stands as one of its proudest monuments,
and it is only just to a broad-minded and capable public servant to note
here that this noble institution, under the liberal provisions of the state, has
made such progress and reached its most important period of proficiency
within the decade marked b}' the management of Bigelow T. Sanborn."
The social, intellectual, and moral entertainments at the hospital have
largely increased in variety and power, with excellent results, during the
past ten years. The increased works of art which please the eye, and the
introduction of modern articles of comfort, have materially changed the
appearance pf the interior of the hospital, and make it far more attractive
to the unfortunate, but appreciative, inmates; and the artistic arrangement
of beds of beautiful flowers and variegated shrubbery, and the shady walks
through the extended grounds of the institution, each and all have con-
tributed to make hospital life far more endurable, recoveries more speedy
and sure, and collectively are a monument to the fine tastes and accom-
plishments of Dr. Sanborn.
Dr. Sanborn married Miss Emma F. Martin, an accomplished and highly
THE AMERICAN SANBORN'S. 405
esteemed lady of Augusta, in 1S72, and her department in the hospital has
been wisely administered and well conducted. Notwithstanding his con-
stant and laborious public duties, Dr. Sanborn finds great enjoyment in the
pleasures of the familv fireside, and he has given his time and influence in
favor of the advancement of all great moral questions, and has always
aided in all public etTorts which have contributed to the educational and
business prosperity of the state of Maine.

i. Prof. Edwin Augustus Grosvenor, b. at Aug. 30, 1845. He is a descendant
in the eighth generation, through an unbroken line of clergymen and physi-

in 1691. Carved on the antique gravestone, still erect in the Eustis street
cemetery, Boston, is the Grosvenor coat of arms, the only coat of arms seen in
the cemetery. His father, already a prominent physician, died at the early age
of thirty-six. His mother was a highly gifted and popular writer. Shrinking
from notoriety, she usually published anonymously. She wrote " Captain
Russell's Watchword," '• Ellen Dacre,"" -The Old Red House," ••Climbing
the Mountain,"' " Noonday,"' and many other juvenile books, and contributed
poems and stories to the magazines of the day. Her son was prepared for col-
lege mostly by her. Mr. Grosvenor graduated from .Amherst in 1S67. being
class poet and salutatorian. He studied at Andover Theological Seminary and
in Paris. While at Andover he met Miss Lilian Waters, who afterwards be-
came his wife and to whom his "Constantinople"" is dedicated. For seven-
teen years he v.as professor of history at Robert college. Constantinople. No
locality could be more congenial and inspiring to a classical student than the
city on the Bosphorus. It is a sort of historical centre -between three conti-
nents. At each vacation or leave of absence Professor Grosvenor would hurr)-
oflfto pursue some special study. His first fortnight recess was spent on the
plain of Troy. One vacation was devoted to visiting all the localities asso-

and customs, possessing t'riends and helpers everywhere, he worked away at his
, " great undertaking. Moreover, he had been thrown into acquaintance or inti-
mate relations with many leading diplomats and savants, not only of the Otto-
' r man Empire and Greece, but of the rest of Europe. His enthusiasm made
his task "a labor of delight." It occupied all the spare time of fifteen years.
. , but his reward came in the production of a book which the European and
American press have accepted as the highest authority on Constantinople.
■ Resigning from Robert college in 1890, he traveled the following year in north-
; • era Syria, Asia Minor, the Greek islands, and the Balkan peninsula. Return-
1. ing to America, he was invited to give lectures at Amherst college. In 1S92 he
was made professor of the French language and literature at Amherst, and was
also from 1892 to 1S94 head of the historical department at Smith college. In
1895 he was appointed professor of European history at Amherst. His publi-
i cations are: "The Hippodrome of Constantinople,"' London, 1SS9; " Con-
stantinople," 2 vols., Boston, 1S95; "The Permanence of the Greek Type,'"
Worcester, 1S97; "Contemporary History," Boston, 1899; " History of Mod-
ern Times," New York, 1S94, a translation and revision of M. Duruv's " Histoire
des Temps Modernes," "Andronike," Boston, 1897,3 translation of a historical
^ romance from the modern Greek, and "A General History of the World," Boston,
1898, a revised translation of M. Duruy's work. He has contributed over three
hundred articles to Johnson's Universal Cyclopaedia, the more notable being
"Constantinople," ''.Mohammedanism," "Roumania,"' "Sicily," "Svria,"
' "Turkey,"' etc., also many articles on European and Oriental subjects to lead-
ing American reviews and periodicals. Professor Grosvenor is a member of the
Hellenic Philologic Syllogos, Constantinople; the Society of Medieval Re-

Lynn, Mass., and in 1822 in Boston, where his father addressed him as
follows : '
GILM.A.NTON Oct. 20* 1 822
My Son I embrace this favorable time to inform you that we are all well — I rec"^ your
letter by Mr E & the subsequent letters by others — you requested me to advise you by letter-
I don't now know profitable your business has been — I shou'd advise you to be in some re-
spectable employment and the most lucrative you can obtain. If you can get decent wages and
locate yourself it would probably be eventually better than to travel too much and incur ex-
penses— What wages you can get in the east is as well known to you as me : you can't go &
come for O — You will be absent from your friends & no chance often to convey to you anything
but letters — Respectable teachers in Mass. keep the best company. Of course your dress will be
more costly. — Perhaps the balance at the close of a year would not be much in your favour.
You may by a further acquaintance with mankind if you duly improve avail yourself of some-
thing that may be useful in future life. Remember wherever you travel each step you take car-
ries you one nigher the grave; let short time be improved for long eternity. — Riches fly &c —
Riches in Christ are as durable as Jehovah. Seek to obtain the prize. . . .

From 1822 to 1837 Dyer H. Sanborn lived in Lynn, Salem, and Marble-
head, Mass. About the latter year he moved to Sanbornton, where tor
several years he taught the academy at Sanbornton Bridge, and in iS45-*46
/I r.t'i\
THE AMERICAN SANBORN'S. 4^5
represented Sanbornton in the state legislature. During these years he
compiled several text-books, wiiich were widely used, his "Analytical
Grammar" going tlirough eight editions. His next positions were as \ ice-
Principal and Principal of the New Ilampsliire Conterence Seminary, and
probably at tliis time he was ordained a clergyman of the Methodist Church.
In 1851-52 he was Principal of the Tubbs Union Academy at Washington,
N. H., leaving there in 1853 to take charge of the academy in Hopkinton,
N. IL Here he spent the remainder of his days, acting for many years
as postmaster. He was an ardent .Mason, and while at Hopkinton, taught
in many of the summer teachers' institutes, serving also on school commit-
tees and on the State Board of Education.
A successful teacher, always popular with his pupils yet respected by
them. Dyer H. Sanborn will be widely remembered as one of New Hamp-
shire's foremost educators. But the work on which he spent the last twenty
years of his life, the task to which he devoted all the lorce of a systematic
and persevering mind, was the compilation of the "Sanborn Genealogy."'
Upon the formation of the Sanborn Family Association in 1S53, he was
elected its president. The pamphlet genealogy of 1S56 was almost as
much his as Dr. Nathan's, and from that date Dyer Sanborn was the mov-
ing spirit in compiling and editing the manuscript genealogy.
Tiie enormous amount of correspondence and clerical labor this entailed
has already been mentioned, but no one familiar with the labor-saving pro-
cesses of to-day can understand the tremendous task. I suppose he wrote
thousands of letters in his own hand, and then doubled that labor in tabu-
lating the results. From year to year he hoped to publish his book, but
one thino- and another delaved it until the Civil War turned everybody's
attention to other matters. Year after year he labored on, and in 1869-70
had almost prepared his manuscript for the press, but increasing age had
sapped his strength and he was not to see the finished result. All this time
he had the earnest and valuable aid of many of the name, but a genealogy
is something one man only can prepare: and in spite of his love tor the
work and his energetic etTorts, Dyer Sanborn had given himself to the task
too late.
The period from 1840 to 1870 was the infancy of genealogy. Printed
town and family histories were few and poor; English research was almost
unknown. Small wonder then that subsequent discoveries have vastly
added to our information and shown many errors in these early genealogies.
Had it not been for Dyer Sanborn's work, however, many generations
given complete in this book would have been very scanty.

Not SO successful as his two more prominent brothers, D\'er Sanborn has
left a record that may outlive theirs. The three brotlitrs were wonderfully
attached to each other, in spite of their dilTerent spheres and bus}' lives,
and they form a distinguished part of the Sanborn familv.

1152. Prof. Edwix David ('492) Sanborn, born in Gilmanton, N. H.,
May 14, iSoS, on a farm uhicli lay about half wav betweenBarnstead line
and Gilmanton Academy. His father, David E.- Sanborn, was a man well
known in his day as an intelligent, energetic, and progressive farmer, wh.o,
starting with a farrn of one hundred acres, added to it bv his own exer-
tions until it was nearly a mile square. He was a schoolmaster of the old
time, teaching winters for sixteen }ears, with a wide reputation as an accom-
plished penman. He carefully instructed his children in the doctrines of
evangelical Christianit\-, and giving them the rudiments of a good English
education, encouraged and assisted them to a higher education, wanting all
to be well equipped for life's responsibilities. From this good man the sons
inherited a Puritan conscience, a stern sense of jtistice, law, and oi'der, and
iron constitutions ; from the lovable, gentle, handsome mother, a tendency
to " flesh and humor,"' as Dr. Dixi Crosbv put it.
Edwin p. Sanborn was brought up on the farm with no luxuries but
plenty of hard work and precious little monev. Such a life gave strength
and vigor and the foundations of a sound manhood, tie fitted for college
at the academy at Gilmanton. He seemed a little awkward and uncotuh in
a homespun suit made by his mother ; and he was behind the others in his
studies ; but brain, enthusiasm, and character soon showed themselves. The
boys better dressed, but with less capacity, who sneered and giggled when
he entered their Latin class, were rccitino- to him before the end of the term.
In six weeks he had completely mastered Adams's Latin Grammar. The
following winter (i825-"26) he taught in Deertield, and was re-elected for
the same school the next }-ear, receiving tor the tlrst term ten, and for the
second eleven, dollars per month.
In the fall of 1827, he tatight a select school at Barnstead. During his
preparation for college, the summers of each year were devoted to labor on

liis father's farm. In 1S2S, he entered the freshman class in Dartmouth
colleire, irraclualino; in iS;2' receivinir the honorof the Latin Salutatorv in the
Commencement l-Lxercises. He kept up with his class, although obliged to
teach every winter and for nine months of his senior year. Teaching at
Topsfield, Mass., the year after his graduation, he was preceptor of Gilman-
ton academy the following year. In 1834. he declined a tutorship in Dart-
mouth college, and began the study of law, the advantages of which knowl-
edge became very practical to him, when a year after, he became an efficient
justice of the peace in Hanover. Abandoning law after one year, he
studied theology at Andover for another year, and was an assistant also in
Phillips Academv there.
In JS35, Mr. Sanborn was again offered and accepted a tutorship in his
Alma Mater, and before the close of the year he was formally installed as
Professor of tiie Greek and Latin Lanorua";es. The chair of the Latin Lan-
guage and Literature he continued to occupy with conspicuous ability from
1S37 to 1S59, during which time he gave the students many valuable
lectures, besides brino-in(^ fresh enthusiasm to each recitation, and cans-
ing the dull page to glow with luminous expositions of the dark phrases
and obscure idioms of the dead language. Dr. Sanborn was a member of
the Constitutional Convention of New Hampshire in 1850. In 1859, he
accepted the Latin Professorship and the Presidency of Washington Univer-
sity, St. Louis, returning to Dartmouth four years subsequently to the chair
of Oratory and Belles Lettres. This change revealed his best gifts. He
gave a fresh impetus to the department, kindled enthusiasm, promoted
literary taste, imparted his own love of literature, introduced extempore
speaking and debates. A devourer of books, with a memory of unusual
strencrth. his intbrmation became encvclopaedic but never to the detriment ot
a raciness, wit, and brusque originality peculiarly his own, for he copied
no man. Rev. Charles Parkhurst, his pupil, editor of Ziou's Herald, said
of Professor Sanborn, — " He would have made a reputation in any pro-
fession. He was a thesaurus of Enfrlish literature. Touch him on anv
cognate theme and he would literally pour himself out in torrents. Aroused,
he was a volcano."
He strono-lv admired the noble in historv or literature and as thoroughlv
loathed and condemned the low and base. "The boys" much enjoyed his
enthusiasm, and would purposely draw him out. He was a living exemplar in
teaching, of what he so often said to the students, — '• If you are to speak, be
sure you have something to sav, and the manner will take care of itselt."
Students hastened to reach the last vear of their course, that thev might

sit at his feet. Asa D. Smith, president of the college at that time said,
"As the result of all this, so deep an interest has been awakened in the
Belles Lettres studies and exercises, that fears have been expressed that
other departments miglu be overshadowed.*'
Professor Sanborn began to write for the press while an under-graduate,
and from that time until his last illness sent more than a thousand articles to
the newspapers on all current topics of interest, besides a great number of
learned and elaborate contributions to the best magazines of his time,
usually without an\' recompense. In fact, he gave so fully, so freely that
at last nature rebelled and he was obliged to stop suddenly. It is latiguing
now to think of his vast industry because it did in the end kill him. A
man who can talk easily, speak pertinently in an evening meeting. otTer
a most eloquent yet humble prayer, preach so as to command the atten-
tion of all, lecture acceptably to cultivated audiences, is too apt to yield
amiably to the seltish, unthinking, inconsiderate appeals of the public,
who desire to be instructed, amused, entertained gratis.
Professor Sanborn saved money carefully, denving himself the luxuries
of books and travel, only to be fleeced by religious relatives and so-called
friends. He lent freely to students, giving them lodging and free board
in his own home, when they could not afford to remain otherwise.
He delivered the oration on New Hampshire Day at the centennial in
Philadelphia, 1876. In 1S75, he published a history of New Hampshire
of which James T. Fields says, "The work is a clear, coherent, and well-
arranged narrative, critical as well as historical, written in an interesting,
vigorous style."
Witt}', humorous, quick at repartee, his conversation was as full of illus-
trative stories as was Lincoln's. His repertoire was inexhaustible and never
tedious or stale. Yet his was a lile in earnest and he had nothino- of the
trifler about him.
One of New Hampshire's most able and prominent lawvers writes : " I
loved and respected Professor Sanborn more than any teacher I ever had,
unless I may mention Professor Parker's name in the same connection. He
was kind to me, generously overlooked many t'aults, and was large enough
to entertain a solemn hope, if not a fixed belief, that there might be some-
'thing ' wortli while' in me notwithstanding, and I loved him. I know all
this now, his generous mind towards me and my regard for him, better than
I did in 1S74. Dr. Sanborn was a man and an individualitv, terms that .do
not apply to the majority of humanity."

Children:
i. Katharine Abbott Sanborn was b. at Hanover, N. H., the nth of July, 1S39.
Educated by her father and other members of the faculty, she took more than a
full course i'n Latin, and was so dailv questioned and encoura-ed in reading that
literature became naturally and easily her life-study. She has supported her-
self and assisted others by her earnings since the age of seventeen, but re- .
ceived her l^rst pay for a newspaper article when only twelve. At nineteen.
she taught in the Marv Institute, St. Louis, Mo., with a S500 salary. Later
she had*a successful day-school in her own home at Hanover, where little tots
struggled with the mvsteries of the alphabet and big boys fitted for college.
Two" years were spent at the Packer Institute, Brooklyn, giving lessons in elo-
cution to 850 voung ladies. Coming in one day to examine her classes, a dis-
tinguished clergyman said to the head teacher,—" Whom have you to teach
elocution? I used to tind a few prize readers, but now each girl can read nat-
urally so as to be heard, and there is good original work." The next year was
spent in the home of the distinguished writer and social queen, .Mrs. Anna
Lynch Botta, where she had the privilege of meeting the men and women who
had won fame as authors, artists, actors, travelers, etc.. for, as N. P. W iHis
e.xpressed it, " Evervbody who was anybody found their way to Mrs. Bottas
salon." Classes for' the study of English literature, and lectures given year
after year in New York city, to an ever-increasing clientele, at last numbering
over 300 in regular audience, occupied her next five years. She also was the
pioneer in the "Current Topics" and condensed book classes, giving to a
score of ladies, in the parlors of J. G. Holland, two hours each week of this
sort of prepared literary pabulum.
Then came a call to the chair of literature in Smith College, Northampton,
' Mass., she being the first woman to occupy that honored position. While
there, she also gave lectures in neighboring towns in the evening, held classes
for married women at Springt^eld. and found time to prepare her •• Round Table
Series of Literature," proving her capacity for '-monumental drudgery" in this
laborious achievement, taking the literary men of all countries, in groups, an
entirely original and all-round method of study in that department. After three
years of this experience, a year was spent in lecturing through the Western
cities, with phenomenal success, attracting immense audiences and receiving
all sorts of delightful social attentions. •• You are having enough adulation to
turn a woman'sliead entirely round,'" said a hostess one day, " but yours seems
not to even wobble."
Miss Sanborn has always had an enthusiasm for quotations, t^dling scrap
books galore with favorite paragraphs, poems, etc., and she has published six
calendars,—" Our Calendar," "Cupid's Calendar," which was immensely popu-
lar, "Sunshine," which Marion Harland said she was not sure but what she
read more than her Bible, " Rainbow," " Children's," and " Starlight,"— the
theme immortality. Her decorative books for the holidays are " Purple and
430

Gold" and " Grandmoth.r-s (^,arden.- Her books have all sold well, proving
that she has a steady following of faithful friends. They are "Home Pictures
of En-lish Poets," -Tlie Vanitv and Insanity of Genius." "Adopting an
Aband'^ned Farm." '-Abandoning an Adopted Farm." "A Truthful \\ oman
in Southern California," "Wit of Women," "My Literary Zoo. " btuaiec
and Off-hand Talks."
When asked what she was most proud of in life, Miss Sanborn said instantly
-Of the noble record of mv great-grandfather. Ebenezer Webster, who guarded
Washington's tent the night on which Arnold's treachery was discovered 'H
I cannot trust Webster, I can trust no one.^ said Washington. Captain W eb.
ster was also one of the first to go into the fight at Bennington, saying, ' W e
must get nearer, bovs ! ' " V.t Miss Sanborn has not joined the Colonial
Dames, preferring not to be bolstered up by distinguished ancestry. Her
testimonials from the press would fill a volume. For three years she was

On Mav 15, 1894, at Hotel Vendome, the X. H. D. club was organized, and
Kate Sanborn of world-wide reputation as a writer, lecturer, and wit, was
unanimouslv chosen and elected president. She laughingly confessed she was
not a club woman and knew nothing about parliamentary rules, but she carried
us through our first dav in her own original and happy manner, and bound ta.-,t
the bonds of love and lovaltv to state and club. Her magnetism, wit, and
good sense drew all hearts to her, and her magnanimity and democratic spirit
united the club into an harmonious whole. She never forgot the vital purposes
of the club, and like Rudvard Kipling in his "Recessional." always kept in
view our highest and best interests "lest we forget."' She gave to us
freelv and glullv her brightest thought and most earnest etforts. She
brou-ht to us fre'sh, original, and interesting matter at every meeting, and was
always full of ideas for future work. Through her large acquaintance and
many friendships she introduced to us a gala.xy of New Hampshire's ablest men
and women. She made for us an enviable position among the clubs or our
countrv, and won for us a reputation that only our best endeavors can hope to
maintain. When she was forced to withdraw on account of ill health, she
bequeathed to us the - countv plan" which has been carried on so successtudy
ever since At the first annual meeting she was overwhelmingly re-elected.
and when later she was obliged to leave us. it was with genuine sorrow anu

here, with feast and frolic and witty speeches. Poultry of course a prominent
feature. If she had not written her rural books, the world would have missed
many hours of healthful merriment. Many of us are inclined to take too
gloomy views of life, and the Miss Sanborns and the Charles Dudley Warners
are needed to compel occasional hearty laughter."
Rev. .Moses T. Runnels says: " Miss Sanborn is one of the most gifted and
charming of the daughters of New Hampshire now upon the stage of action.
She is among our very wittiest and most talented authors, as her books and
other writings show. ' She is also a princess among entertainers, as those who
have enjoved her genial hospitality at her ' Breezy Meadows" farm or in other
places are 'readv to ^testify. Being a granddaughter of Hon. Ezekiel Webster,
and grand-niece of the immortal Daniel, she seems to have inherited her
motherVs quiet loveliness and tenderness of heart, as well as her father's, Prof.E.D.
Sanborn's, brilliancy and versatility and energy."
Miss Lilian Whiting of Boston gives this estimate: "It is not over-pra:se,
nor does it in anv wise disparage other women lecturers of recognized talent, to
say that with the' single exception of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, whose pre-eminent
culture is the inflorescence of philosophy, of science, of poetry, and of art. no
woman so finely interprets the intellectual life; no one brings it before an
audience with such strength and grace and delicate insight as does Miss Sanborn.
For she has the poet's vision. She has that fine power which only out of the
truly assimilated knowledge can impress its lessons vividly, magnetically."

partnership with his brother-in-law, E. T. Brooks, and this partnership con-
tinued until his appointment as I'udge for the district, in 1873.
" In 1850 he was elected to represent the county of Sherbrooke in parlia-
ment, and re-elected in 1S52 and 1854. At'ter the division of the county be
represented the county of Compton till 1857. In 1S63 he was elected to
represent the division of Wellington in the Legislative Council, and returned
to the same office tor tlie next eightyears, by acclamation. During this term
the Act of Confederation passed, and he was called by Her Majesty to the
Senate of the Dominion (1867) as one of the original members of that body,
and continued in this position until 1873, when he was appointed to the
bench.
" As a politician, Judge Sanborn was always a thorough liberal, but never
a radical. He had a mind that revered constitutional principles and safe-
guards. He was a cordial hater of all sorts of political favoritism and
monopoly. He attained a prominent position in the commons as a speaker
and as a practical man, and his judgment always had great weight even
with his political opponents He received a commission as
Queen's Counsel in 1S63, and was offered the place of Solicitor General
in the Sanfield McDonald government, which he, however, declined, pre-
ferring his position as a private member, and the practice ot his prolession,
to the hazardous office of cabinet minister He took an active
part in legislation and advocated the amendment of the patent laws, and
w^as the author of several acts now a part of the law^ of the land. While a
member of the senate he occupied a high position, and was acknowledged
as the leading mind on the opposition side, and his opinions were invariably
listened to with great deference on both sides. He was tor several years
President of the Private Bills Committee, and was looked upon as the lead-
ing authority on questions of constitutional law. When he lelt the senate
his loss was regretted by all."
His appointment to the office of judge of the superior court was made by
his political opponent, Sir John A. MacDonald, who was not slow to recog-
nize his merits and fitness for the office. Wiien he had discharged its
duties for little more than a year, the Liberals being in power, and a
vacancy occurring on the Qiieen's Bench, he was transferred to that court.
Three years later, July 17, 1S77, his death caused another vacancy on the

bench, and one greatly lamented, for he was filling his exalted position
with honor to tiie ermine. He was buried in Mount Royal cemetery,
Montreal.
At a meeting of the Montreal bar resolutions were passed expressing
deep sorrow at his death, and high appreciation of his ability, integrity,
and learnincr and the faithful manner in which he had discharged his
duties. He was a deeply religious man, and a devout and conscientious
member of the Congregational church, in whose atlairs and well being lie
always took a leading part.
Judge Sanborn belonged to the best type of New England character, and
early espoused anv good cause looking toward moral reform and the mental
and social improvement of his fellow-men. In his youth he became a
" teetotaller," and remained so all his life, and was at one time President
of the Temperance and Prohibitory League of the Province.
His death left a blank in Sherbrooke as well as in Montreal. The
Sherhroohc Gazette said of him : " As a private citizen, a lawyer, legisla-
tor, and judge, his example is worthy of imitation, and the world will be
all the better the more closely his example in private and public life is tol-
lowed."
Judge Sanborn was twice married ; first in 1847 to Eleanor Hall Brooks,
who died in 1S53, leaving three children, and the second time in 1S56, to
Nancy Judson Hazeltine of Bradford, Mass., who died in 1874, leaving one
child. Of the three children by the first wife, Elizabeth Maria is the wife
of Thomas J. Tuck, druggist, Sherbrooke, P. Q^ Ellen Brooks is the wife
of Henry D. Lawrence, advocate, of the same place, and Samuel Brooks,
who was a rising lawyer of great promise, died there in 1SS4. The child
by the second wife, ]Mary Abigail, is unmarried and resides at Sherbrooke.

benevolence ; a true, faithful, and devoted friend. In the last few weeks

was an honored member of the Masonic fraternity ; he was the pater
omniiLin of his father's family, — to them his loss will be irreparable, as well
as to his own."

scholarship, with a striking vein of humor. No better example of the old-
fashioned " country doctor" can be found in New England, and his name is
a household word, for ten miles round. Married 1S62, Elizabeth Giles
(Brown) Standley, daughter of 'Squire William Brown of Hampton Falls,
a man of substance. She was a rare character, all sweetness and patience
through long years of affliction, for at a comparatively early age she became
incurably lame, and long betbre her death could not walk a step.

1313. Franklin Benjamin (597) Sanborn, A. B., was born in Hampton
Falls, N. H., Dec. 15, 1S31, in the old house in Hampton Falls, at the top
of the gentle hill on which his ancestors laid out their tarm in the seventeenth
century among the pine woods, and some thirty rods eastward ot where the
original house stood, as shown by the old well and the scattered bushes ol
the English Lancastrian rose, which they planted there, and which still sur-

child's particular caretaker, thou^Hi seventy-two years old. Frank slept in
his bedroom on the ground floor, except in winter, entering it from the old
spacious kitchen, with its fireplace six feet wide and three feet deep, wain-
scoted and unplastered at the top, with a dark smoky pole hung across
above to dry wet garments on, and an old oak armchair, perhaps brought from
England, in which sat '• Grandsir Sanborn;" so called to distinguish him
in a clnld's mind from the other grandfather, '-Grandpa Leavitt," who came
often to chat and to urge Democratic politics on his milder kinsman.
Benjamin Sanborn was a hale, hearty yeoman of the English type, blue-
eyed and brown-haired, with cheerful good nature, and a clear, rosy com-
plexion, even at eighty-five. About 1S21, when political animosities sub-
sided under the sagacious administration of Monroe, Parson Abbott had
consented to the introduction in the "singing-seats'" oi his old meeting-
house, of instruments,— a bass-viol played by Jo Perkins and a clarinette
blown by Peter Tilton. Benjamin Sanborn, who had been constant at
church before, took oflence at this new music, which seemed to him better
suited for dancing than for worship, and for a while staved awav from ser-
Vice. It IS the only instance of Puritanic strictness recorded of the good
old man ; he viewed the younger generation of temperance reformers with
toleration, but took his own moderate tipple at intervals, notwithstanding ;
kept a goodly mug of cider on his table and favored the family with
Jamaica punch on Independence Day, in the great pitcher, whereon was
seen the Constitution capturing the Giicrricre. Parson Abbott spent many
evenings at his house, and took occasion to talk of David with his harp,
and all the instruments named in the Bible,— until, tinally, he persuaded
the widower back to his pew.
'* An early and proud recollection," says F. B. S., " is of going into this
pew with my mother, when I was hardly high enough to peep through its
enticing 'banisters,' arraved in a green trock and lonf^ white stockin'^s.
Lrrandfather had then ceased to go to church Sundays, but sat at home and
read the Bible, or some religious book, in a loud whisper sounding the tinal
ed, as ' Enoch walk-ed with God,'— which struck my childish mind with
awe. Like his father-in-law, who was the Democratic party leader in that
region, my father was an active Democrat, and, under Jackson, his party
controlled the little town of Hampton Falls ; he was theretbre chosen Town
Clerk. One of his duties was to record the names of new-born children ;
and while my grandfather gave me his own Scripture name, and mv fond
grandmother Leavitt added the favorite middle name of ' Franklin" in honor
of the great doctor,— father, knowing that his son would be called ' Frank,'

vowed he should not go by his middle name. He therefore reversed on the
record tlie usual order, and entered me as 'Franklin Benjamin,' — a whim
that has occasioned some triflin<i mistakes ever since. He was rather too
persistent in his own whims, but essentially just in his nature ; a serious,
rather saturnine person, inclined to separate himselt" t'rom others; industri-
ous, fruo-al, and o-overninrr his Tamil v more bv severitv than affection ; an

Aaron Sanborn and all his near kindred were readers, and in that com-
munity of old traditions and simple habits, learning was held in honor and
books were easv to obtain in libraries or by neigliborly borrowing. W ith
such books, many of them in Latin, and with the instruction of his brother
Charles and the ministers, in addition to the youths who taught winter
schools, Mr. Sanborn had picked up, before fifteen, much miscellaneous
learning. To this he added, by himself, before 1S50, a good deal of Latin.
a little French, some German, and the rudiments of Greek, — though his
father had forbidden him the latter, when at the wish ot' the school-master,
and the age of eleven, he had learned the Greek alphabet. He began to
write verses at sixteen, and ti)oun;ht himself skilful that wav before he was
nineteen, — even printing a tew. Up to this time, he had no thought of
enterinrr- college, and neither formed for himselt', nor had formed lor him,
any definite plan of life. He grew up in much t'reedom, working with his
hands, but not excessively ; sauntering and reading a great deal, with lew
companions, outside of his own cousins and neighbors : learning to swim
and shoot, play whist and chess; going to church when he pleased, but
not habitually, and joining in a literary circle which first gave an opportun-
ity to try his pen in verse and prose. Its manuscript journal, bearing the
high name-of " The Star of Social Relorm," contained a few pieces written
at eighteen, which he has since printed. He says, " I was also making my
first experiments in love, without forming any serious connection, until, in
my nineteenth year, it was my good fortune to meet the person who had the
most inspiring intluence on that portion of my life which preceded my
acquaintance with Emerson and John Brown. This was Miss Ariana
Smith Walker, a grand-niece of Webster's witty friend, Judge Smith 01
Exeter. I met her in the summer of 1850, and between us a quick and
inspiring affection grew up, changing my course of thought. This contin-
ued my chief interest for tour years, and until her death in August, 1S54.
It was her wish that we should be married, when her death was seen to be

near; and we were united in name, as we had been in spirit almost trom
our first siglit of each other, but a short week before her death, which
occured at her lather's iiouse in Peterborough, where her maternal relatives,
the Smiths and Morisons, of the genial Scotch-Irish race, had settled in
the middle of the last century."
Already, at her suggestion, he had been prepared for Harvard, partly
by private lessons from Prof. J. G. Hoyt of Exeter Academy, and finally
by seven months' study in that excellent old school, then very small
(i85i-'52). He entered college in July, 1852, and found among his class-
mates there, Phillips Brooks, Gen. Frank Barlow, Edwin Morton, Robert
Treat Paine, Theodore Lyman, and others since noted. Though actually
at Cambridge but little more than two years, ^Nlr. Sanborn's greater age
and miscellaneous reading gave him good rank. Mr. Emerson, who had
known him in college, selected him as the tutor of his children, and by his
influence secured him a flourishing; school in Concord, which he carried
on for eight years, Irom March, 1S55, to ^March, 1S63, — teaching both
bovs and (firls, and civino; them some taste of country life and social
training.
Interest in national aflairs drew his attention often from this school, hav-
ing loner been devoted to the freedom of the Southern slaves and the eman-
cipation of the North from its subservience to the slave masters and their
commercial and political allies. This was contrary to the wish ot his
elders, but it brought him into acquaintance with Theodore Parker,
Wendell Phillips, Dr. Howe, Mr. Garrison, and others who took the anti-
slavery side. Along with some of these, — George L. Stearns, Dr. Samuel
Cabot, Colonel Higginson, two of the Lawrence lamily, Dr. William and
A. A. Lawrence (father of the Bishop), etc., — he became active in the
colonization and defence of Kansas in i855-'56-'57, serving on committees
and giving and raising money therefor. This again brought him into
friendship with that remarkable champion of tVeedom, John Brown, to
whose cause and apparently hopeless undertaking in Virginia Mr. Sanborn
gave time and monev in i858-'59. The storv of this period is told in his
"Life and Letters" of Brown, and " Life of Dr. Howe."
Its events brought upon him in the winter and spring of i860 an attempt
by the Virginians and other slaveholders, who then controlled the United
States Senate, to kidnap and compel him to testify betbre a Senate com-
mittee against his and Brown's triends, which he was resolved never to
do. Being summoned as a witness by the chairman of the Senate com-
mittee, Mason of Virginia, Mr. Sanborn declined to appear, and the Senate
. I". 'Ij
THE AMERICAN SANBORXS. 469
ordered his arrest in" February, iS6o; but the warrant, addressed to the
sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, lay dormant until April, when it appeared
in the hands of one Silas Carleton, a Boston bailifl', who, escorted by young
Freeman, a son of the United States marshal of the district (^who had
served the Senate summons in December), came to his house at night, with
four men, and by a tbrged letter sought to entrap him. Ignorant of their
purpose, for he supposed the Senate had given up its unwise purpose of
arresting him, Mr. Sanborn admitted them to his house, where they hand-
cuffed him and prepared to carry him off like a runaway slave, seized
under tliis same ^Mason's Fugitive Slave Law. The courage of his sister,
his own resistance, and the intervention of neighbors, who came flocking
at the sound of the tire-bell, stopped the kidnappers, and a writ ot' habeas
corf lis, drawn up by a neighbor. Judge Hoar, then on the Massachusetts
Supreme Bench, and served by Sheriff Moore, another neighbor, with the
-posse comitatiis, took him from their hands and brought him tb.e next dav
before Chief Justice Shaw and the full bench, who discharged him as
unlawfully arrested.
Such affairs interfered with the success of the school, and the outbreak
of the war so reduced the pupils that in the winter of i862-'63 ^Vlr. Sanborn
accepted an offer from the friends of emancipation to edit their weeklv
newspaper, the Boston Coinmonzvealth, only remaining in that capacit\'
seven months, however, when Governor Andrew called him to be the first
secretary of the Massachusetts Board of State Charities (Oct. i, 1S63).
This was the first organization of the kind in the country (there are now
twenty or more), and everything had to be begun and carried through
without pattern. Dr. Howe soon became its chairman, and its very effi-
cient general agent was Henry B. Wheelwright. These three graduallv
reorganized the Massachusetts charities, and set the fashion tor other state
boards, which began to be appointed in 1S67. Mr. Sanborn was thus with-
drawn from active participation in tlie war — having the interests of manv
thousand poor persons to look after — and worked, he says, " as I have
never done, before or since, to understand, explain, and reform the char-
itable and statistical work of Massachusetts." At the end of five vears'
service as secretary, he accepted the invitation of Samuel Bowles to become
a resident editor of his Republican ; this took him to Sprkigtiela and Ash-
field for lour years, and brought him into closer friendship with George
William Curtis and other literary men. Mr. Sanborn was for a few months
managing editor of the ^6'^//<^//Va;/ in 1871, and helped organize the suc-
cessful opposition to General Butler's ambitious attempt to become Governor

as the Republican candidate ; he was finally chosen, eleven years after, as
the Democratic candidate.
Mr. Sanborn married Auir. i6. 1S62, his second wife, Louisa Augusta
Leavitt ot' Woburn, in the small Boston church of his friend, James Free-
man Clarke, after which they lived for a winter in Cambridge, and one
spring with a dear old friend, ]Mrs. Sarah Ripley, in the Old Manse at
Concord.
After resigning his secretaryship in 1S68, Mr. Sanborn had been ap-
pointed a member of the state board in 1S70, and in 1874 succeeded Dr.
Howe as its chairman for two years, originating or cooperating in legisla-
tion or administration affecting public charity throughout the country, and
joining, in May, 1S74, ^vith Dr. Hoyt and Mr. Letchworth of New York,
]Mr. Elmore of Wisconsin, and Mv. F. H. Wines of Illinois, in foundincr the
National Conference of Charities at New York city.
Previously (October, 1S65), Mr. Sanborn, with Mrs. C. H. Dall, Dr.
Howe, Colonel Higglnson, Presidents Rogers of the Technological Institute
and Oilman of the Baltimore University, Governors Andrew and Boutwell,
Mr. R. C. Winthrop, and many others, united in founding the American
Social Science Association, of which he was an officer for nearly thirty-
three years and secretary more than twenty-five years. He was also asso-
ciated with General Hayes (afterwards President), with Dr. E. C. Wines,
Mr. Brockway of tiie Elmira Reformatory, and many other friends, at Cin-
cinnati in 1870, in forming the National Prison Association, which was
revived at Saratocfa in 1SS2. This connection with such organizations led
Mr. Sanborn to write and publish several thousand pages on the topics
generally included under '"Social Science." while his state reports for
Massachusetts, on charities, prisons (of which he was an inspector tor five
years), insane asylums, reformatories, etc., must cover 8,000 pages. While
chairman of the state board, he carried an important legislative inquiry into
the mismanagement of the Tewksbury State Almshouse, resulting in a
reformation of the system there, especially after the action of Governor
Butler, in 1883, gave the state board opportunity to complete the work
begun in 1S76. In 1877, with the support of the Board of State Charities,
Mr. Sanborn carried on a similar inquiry inso the cost of the new Danvers
Lunatic Hospital, which resulted in much economv of money and an ex-
posure of the futility of such building of palace hospitals for paupers. In
consequence of these services, he was asked in 1879. ^3' ^^^^ friend Thomas

tion of the charities and prisons, which he carried through, being selected

for tlie place of general inspector of charities, which he held from July,
1879, to November, iSSS, when he was illegally but effectively deprived
of it.
"In all,"' says Mr. Sanborn, " my official service to Massachusetts was
about twenty-five years, and I have continued since 1SS8. as a private citi-
zen and publicist, to aid in the promotion of better systems in mv own and
other states. It might also be mentioned that I took an active part, from
1S65 to 1S7S, in establishing oral instruction tor deaf children in schools at
Northampton, Boston, and Mystic, Conn. I have been for thirtv years one
of the twelve trustees of the Clarke School for the Deaf at Northampton —
one of the best in the world, — and had much to do with obtaining its char-
ter from the legislature in 1S67. The same year I obtained the charter
and assisted in the organization of the Massachusetts Infant Asylum, which,
first in America, showed practically how to prevent the extreme mortalitv
among motherless infants, and which still continues to do its good work
near Boston."
In 1S79, ^^1'- Sanborn aided his neighbor, Bronson Alcott, and his
friends. Prof. W. T. Harris, Mrs. Ednah Cheney, Miss Elizabeth Pea-
body, and others, to carry out a long-cherished plan of Alcott and Emer-
son,— the opening of a summer school of philosophy and literature at
Concord, in the grounds of ^Iv. Alcott's picturesque •' Orchard House,"'
where they built the small " Hillside Chapel.'" They continued to hold
sessions during the summers of nine years. — closing the enterprise with a
memorial service for the founder and dean of the school, in iSSS, a few
months after Mr. Alcott's death. This involved the arrancrement and
delivery of some tlfty lectures by ten or fifteen professors and scholars in
each year, to audiences ranging Irom twenty to three hundred, and usually
followed by a free debate. Mr. Sanborn was secretary and treasurer
of the faculty, and also lectured several times each summer; in some
years one thousand different persons attended during some part of the
courses. It was the first of such schools, perhaps, but has since been
often imitated.
As a contributor to the Atlantic and other magazines and reviews, he
had published much bel'ore 18S2, when his first literary book appeared, —
the life of his neighbor and t'riend, Henrv Thoreau. in the "Boston Series
of American Authors."' The same year he edited for Mr. Alcott a volume
of *' Sonnets and Canzonets," and in 1887 Mr. Alcott"s poetical auto-
biography, entitled " New Connecticut." These were followed, in 1803.
by Alcott's '• Memoirs" in two volumes, edited in concert with Dr. Harris.

In 1S85 Mr. Sanborn published, after long preparation, the authentic
" Life and Letters of John Brown." All these books except the first-
named were publislied by Roberts J^rolhers of Boston.
For llie School of Philosophy he edited its two volumes of lectures there
delivered, — in 1SS5, "The Genius of Emerson," and in 1886, "The Life
and Genius of Goethe," to which he contributed chapters. In 1891, after a
visit to Greece, he published in a New York biographical series, a '* Lite
of Dr. S. G. Howe," in which many of the facts concerning his connection
with John Brown were first made public. In i892-'93 he resided in Greece
again for more than four months, sailed along the shores of Attica, Beotia,
Eubea, and Thessaly, and ascended Mt. Pelion, after traversing the plains
ofThessaly and the pass of Tempe ; also sailed to Constantinople, rowed
on the Bosphorus, saw the Sultan pass from his palace to his mosque, and
sailed in broad daylight between Tenedos and the plain of Troy. He
examined with Doerpteld and his students the ruins of Grecian temples and
theatres ; saw Waldstein begin his excavations at Sparta, and continue
those at the Argive Heraion ; and in the rare library of George Finla}' at
Athens read again the story of the Gi-eek Revolution, and the romantic
fortunes of his friend Trelawnv, — makincf use of this knowledse in some
recent articles in Sc?-ib)ic?-''s Magazi)ic on Bvron and Trelawny (1S97).
In 1S95, having long had them in his hands, Mr. Sanborn published,
through Houghton & MitBin, the •• Familiar Letters of Henry Thoreau,"
which was virtually a new and better biography of him. And he has now
completed the "Memoirs of Pliny Earle," with whom he was long asso-
ciated in the improvement of the treatment and care of the American
insane. In preparation for this task Mr. Sanborn visited many European
asylums for the insane in 1890 and 1893, — in Austria, Belgium, Greece,
Italy, Hungary, Saxony, Scodand, etc. Besides these books, he has
edited or had some share in several others, drawn from the copious writings
of Theodore Parker, with whom for seven years, while in college and in
the Concord school, he was on the most intimate terms. He desired Mr.
Sanborn to be his literary executor, as he was one of the executors of his
will; but this purpose was frustrated by untoward circumstances following
Parker's death in i860; however, his manuscripts and copyrights came
into Mr. Sanborn's hands long afterwards. At present Mr. Sanborn is
writing for the Scribners of New York, a small historical book, " Heroes
of the Greek Revolution."

began in April, 1SS5, the first course of college lectures on applied social
science ever heard in America, — visiting, after lectures, witii a large class
of students, the model reformatory of Mr. Brockway at Elmira, the great
Willard asylum lor the insane, and other establishments for the poor and
vicious in New York. The pupils were required to pass an examination on
the features observed at these different establishments, as well as on the
general principles of the system upon which they were conducted and
justified. He continued these lectures four years, with many hearers, —
and such have since been had at other universities. He has lectured
repeatedlv at other colleges and before many societies and clubs for the
past forty-five years, — beginning at the Westford Academy in 1S53 with a
college essay on '* King x-\rthur." His journalistic beginnings were even
earlier, for he contributed verses to the Indcfcndent Democrat of Concord,
N. H., in 1S49, ^"^ ^^'^^ o'^^ of the founders of the Harvard Magaziuc in
1854, — «ince when he has printed verse or prose in more than forty periodi-
cals, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, and to the extent of many,
many thousand book-pages.
As a vignette to this biographical sketch, the following extract from
"Time and the Hour" (Boston, 1S97) may show a contemporary idea of
Mr. Sanborn's personality : :.
•V.
Under the beautiful leafy aisle of Concord Main Street there moves no more remarkable
fiojnre than that of F. B. Sanborn. As you meet him on the diurnal walk from the little post-
office (where everybody meets everybody, and everybody bows to everybody, and perhaps, as
in Gavarni's French village. " everybody b;;ickbites everybody"), book-laden, reading as he
walks, he will cast a quick, searching glance at you from under his broad-brimmed hat.
What a pungent look ! And what an Emersonian face ! In a certain sense — did you ever
think of it ? — that face was, however, a typical New England one — so kind, so sympathetic
and sympathy-craving; yet so keen. Mr. Sanborn's smile is a benediction, yet there is a
rapier thrust latent in it. His eye twinkles and gleams at once. His lips are wreathed with
lines of gentleness, yet they have adaptability for a sardonic twist.
To you who know the man, the core of the man, and come to him in sympathy,— if \6\\
hated slavery, " doughfaces,'' red tape, and General Butler,— there is only the happiest hour
in prospect if you are asked to end his walk with him and are received in tlie hospitable home-
like red house down in the bend of the Sudbury Vineclad and umbrageous, it is caressed by
the gentle fingers of the mist, with a most peaceful outlook on the curves of the river and low
embracing hills, from wiiose sides a few scattered trees are limned upon the sky. Within.
books and books and books. Some furniture, of course. You will probably recall a dinner-
table, glass, china, and comestibles ; but books and talk, and that mobile, quaint, bitter-
sweet flashing face, the well-considered, finished speech, full of wisdom and wit — these will be
your memories. Tlie houseplace in which you sit has its associations with the romance of its
master's life, and what you know of it and of him weaves its interior accompaniment to the.
flow of speech, as is the manner when we talk with famous men.

To think and act for himself, — that self a product of two hundred years' fine New England
stock, grafted from tlie Hampton Falls homestead (which passed from generation to generation)
to the Concord life in its prime, — these are Frank Sanborn's inherent necessities. He knows
. no fear nor favor. His sympathies are always with the under dog. From one point of view-
he was entirely wrong in his attitude in the last campaign. From his ov. n he was wholly right.
He heard in the opposition the voice of the people; and seeing how impossible it is, when
organization is once effected, to cause this voice to be heard, he accepted all the doctrines
associated with the manifestations against accumulated wealth and corporate influence —
welcoming the deluge, as it were, to sweep the land clean and sweet. There is something of
the heroic still lingering in all those anti-slavery heroes. They knew nothing of compromises
or policies: here was the higher law, and there was its violation. So Mr. Sanborn saw the
money-power omnipotent, as we see it to-day, and the poor man. the masses, without even an
advocate, as bounty after bounty is lavished upon greedy claimants.

1314. Lewis Thomas (597) Sanborn, was born in Hampton Falls Oct.
II, 1834. He devoted himself to farming, and succeeded his father in the
management of the farm, but built his own house on the site of the burned
parsonage of Dr. Langdon and Mr. Abbot, not lar from the Unitarian
church which replaced the old meeting-house when he was a boy. He
enlisted as a sharpshooter in Captain Jones's New Hampshire company
of Colonel Berdan's regiment, but saw little active service, his health be-
ing ruined by the malaria of the Potomac, throwing him into a long fever,
in iS6i-'62, whose etiects he has lelt ever since. After the war he mar-
ried Abby, daughter of Greenleaf Brown of Stratham, and built the house
in which he now lives, — engaging largely for some years in the work of
breediufT blooded horses. Like his father, he has alwavs been skilful in
the training and management of horses, and active in all the pursuits ot
agriculture, which, in that part of New Hampshire, have been increasingly
difficult and decreasingl}- profitable for the past twenty years.
1315. Joseph Leavitt (597) Sanborn, was the youngest child of his
parents, born Oct. 30, 1S43, and failing to inherit tlie strong constitution of
his kindred, he was the first of the brothers to die. From childhood he was
grave and gentle in character, fond of learning, and acquiring readily
whatever he undertook to learn, — industrious, helpful, and beloved by all
who knew him, anci particularly by his brother Lewis, who spared no pains
'to help him on with his education. After the usual course in the town
school, he studied tor a \'ear or two in his brother's school at Concord, and

aided him with some of the chisses, being particidarly good in mathematics
and natural science. He was tiiere tltted tor the Harvard Scientilic Sciiool,
which he entered, but tlnding the course unsatisfactory, he entered at the
Exeter academy, and there finished his preparation lor college. He grad-
dated tirst in the Harvard class of 1S67, and was active in college journalism
there, like his brother betbre him, and his nephew since. He became a
teacher, for which he had great titness, and taught at West Xewton and
Plymouth with much success and the regard of his pupils. Having mar-
ried, in 1S70, ?vliss Josephine Lakin of Worcester, he became a private
tutor at Cambridge, but was soon invited by Prot". W. T. Harris, now of
the Bureau of Education, to take a position at St. Louis, Mo. The same
success attended him there, in 1871-72; but he had overtasked his strength,
and died in the spring of 1S72, of a violent fever, accompanied by menin-
gitis. His brother Frank was with him at his death, and brought his
remains, and his bereaved family, to Hampton Falls, where, in the lollow-
ing summer, a second daughter was born. These sisters. Josephine (born
in 187 1), and Esther, were tenderly cared lor by their mother and the
family at Hampton Falls, and afterwards educated in .Boston, where Mrs.
Sanborn has lono; been a valued teacher in the school of her husband's
classmate, 'Mv. George C. Mann. They are now successful teachers
themselves. Their father was an exact, sagacious, and broad-minded
scholar, — a just and kindly man, wliose premature death was greatly
lamented. He is buried witii his parents at Hampton Falls.

476 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
131S. George Henry(6o5) Sanborn, was born in Concord, N. 11., July
30, 1830. Connected as this branch of our tamily was with printing and jnib-
lishinci, it is little cause for wonder that he turned his attention to that line of
business. He learned the trade as a practical printer and publisher, and was
earl}' connected with the Portland (Me.) ^;-o7/5, which his lather published.
jNIr. Sanborn evinced an active and adaptive mind, and a thorough know-
ledge of the needs of machinery to improve and assist the printer and pub-
lisher. He moved to BulTalo, N. Y., where he conducted a successful pub-
lishincr business, althouiih still verv voung. Returning to Boston, he
began the manufacture of printing and binding machinery ; and thus laid
the foundations of what is to-day perhaps the best known machinery manu-
factorv in the trade. The machines which have been invented and devel-
oped by him are principally cutting, trimming, and binding machines : —
those almost human devices, which to-day supplant the labor of thousands,
and by whose agency the expansion of the press has become so wide a fac-
tor in the development of our countrv. Mr. Sanborn moved from Boston to
New York, enlarging his plant and improving his patents ; the extent ol
these may be imagiyed when it is known that in 1855 the Paris Exposition
gave him a medal for tirst class book-binding machinery ; and the Inter-
national Exposition of London in 1S62, awarded him the bronze medal tor
first prize in like inventions. The list of medals since awarded the " San-
born Machinerv,'' would cover several pages. About the year 1878, Mr.
Sanborn associated with himself his two eldest sons, and on April 28, 1879,
he came to Chicago, opening a branch there because he could not otherwise
get adequate representation. From that date the business steadily grew in
importance and volume, the entire western country opening up to the new
trade.
Mr. Sanborn was a man of strong character and impressed himself
stonglv upon those with whom he was brought in contact. He was a man
of great reserve and modestv, also ; — disliked to talk of his own achieve-
ments, and particularly disliked to have his portrait taken. He was a man
of wide learning, although not a college graduate ; and had traveled exten-
sively, having been many times abroad to procure and protect his patents,
which were taken out in many countries. He married (i) in 1853, at Port-
land, Me., Juliet Dearborn, who died in 1S55 5 (-) i" 1S56, at Gorham, Me.,
Elizabeth Frances Lord, who survived him, and is now (1898) living in
Brooklyn with her sons. Mr. Sanborn was not a clubman, preterring the
comfort and seclusion of his own fireside. He was a Mason of high degree,
belon^infi to a Boston lodjje. He died in Chicago, Jan. 26, 1S81.

Children :
i. George Edwin, b. in Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 21, 1857. Early associated with his
father in business, for tlie last twenty years he has been in charge of the inter-
ests of the " Sanborn Machinery,'" fitted for sucli important duties by a natural
aptitude for aftairs, and the same practical and active mind which enabled his
father to lay the foundations for the present success. Mr. Sanborn is a born
executive, and still has time to be genial and pleasant to even a chance
acquaintance. He negotiated with the Standard Machinery Co., of Mystic,
Conn, (who had for years manufactured his machines under patent rights for
him), an arrangement by which, when that contract was terminated by mutual
consent, he was their sole Western representative : and he is now representing
their interests, as well as those of the Montague Co., in Chicago and the West.
He is a man of rare courtesy, lives in Evanston, 111., and is a member ot the
Chicago Union League club. He is unmarried.
ii. Herman Lord, b. April 23, 1859. He represented the "Sanborn Machinery" in
New York and the East for many years, until his death in January, 1S97. He
was a man of great business ability, and made many friends. Married in
1880, Augusta Lott, and had,— (i) Herman Ray; (ii) Marie; (iii) Dora. All
the children and his widow are living in Pleasantville, N. Y.
iii. Joseph Henry, b. July 10, 1S61 ; d. 1869.

Aug. 19, 1835. Married Oct. 20, 1864, Elizabeth Walker Taylor of Cape
Elizabeth, Me., born April 9, 1849. He was educated in the public and
private schools of the town. Worked on the farm undl twenty-one years ot
age. Worked in a drug store in 1859. Late in i860, commenced the study
of medicine, but like many other young men at the breaking out of the War
of the Rebellion, enlisted as a private in the volunteer service. Just betore
the close of the war (March, 1865), was appointed a hospital steward
(druggist) in the regular army, remained in the army after the close ot the
war, and being in the medical department, completed the study of medicine.
He has practised medicine in the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Dakota,
Missouri, and Rhode Island. He was appointed City Physician, of New-
port, R. I., in 1897, which position he now holds ; has been for years medi-
cal adviser of the John Hancock Life Insurance Association.

Jan. 13, 1S31. Died at .Loudonville, O., Au(^. 24, 1895, aged 64 years,
7 months, 11 da^•s. He came with liis parents — ^Jeremiah and Clarissa
(Smith) Sanborn — to Loudonville, in 1S37. When a young man he began
his business career as a clerk in a store: tirst at Jeromeville, O., then at
McKav, and lastly at Loudon\ille, in the employ ot* the late Nathaniel Has-
kell, at which latter place he continued tor six years. In 1S53, he entered
the railroad office at Loudonville, then in charge ot* the late Judge George
H.Stewart.
In 1859 Mr. Stewart resigned his office of Station Agent and Mr. Sanborn
succeeded him, which position he held until his death — a period of thirtv-
six years — when he was succeeded bv his son. Haven Levant Sanborn. In
connection with his business as Station Arrent, he dealt in coal and railway
ties, thus adding to his salary the prohts of these transactions. By careful
management he accumulated a competence which he invested in real estate
at Loudonville and elsewhere. Nov. 15, 1S64, he was united in marriage
to Miss Clarissa Smith, daughter of Joseph Haven and Annah Carrington
Ives Smith, formerly of Loudonville, who survives him.
He was one of the original members of the Loudonville Presb^'terian
church, and it was larcrely through his efforts and intluence that the church
was organized and a church edifice erected in 1S74. He was then elected
one of the Elders of the churcli, which office he held until his death. Pre-
vious to the organization of the Loudonville church, he with his aged
mother tor many years attended the Presbyterian church at Perrysville^
then under the pastorship of Rev. William Hughes.
iNIr. Sanborn had abidin"; faith in Christ and the doctrines ot the Bible.
He was familiar with church liistory and was a patron and reader of church
papers, but he was not narrow in his religious views : other churches were
sharers o*f his means and had his best wishes for prosperity. In the lan-
guage of an associate upon hearing of his dealh^, — " He stood tor Christ and

tism " in x\ugust, 1SS3.
He was a Republican and voted with that party from its formation to the
close of his life. He belonged to the order of Free Masons and the luneral
rites of this order were performed at his burial. He was an earnest man not
given to le\ity. To many he seemed austere and reserved, but to his
friends who knew him well, he was genial and affable, greeting them with
a hearty grasp of the hand and a pleasant smile, fie was honest, straight-
forward, svmpathetic, and charitable. In his social and home life he was
cheerful, agreeable, indulgent, and kind.
Children :
i. Haven Levant Sanborn was born at Loudonville, Ohio, Aug. 14, 1865. He
entered school at the age of seven years and graduated from the Loudonville
public schools in 1SS3. In the spring of 1SS4 he attended Hiram college, tak-
ing a commercial course. During his boyhood much of his leisure time was
spent at the railroad station in assisting his father in his duties as agent of the
,. Pennsylvania Co. and Adams Express Company, availing himself of the oppor-
tunity thus afforded in learning the system of keeping the books and transacting
' ~ the business of those companies. In the early spring of 1SS6 he was
employed by the Adams Express Co. as messenger, which occupation he was
■ engaged in until March, 1S87, when he married Miss Xanna Carr and resigned
■ "' his position with the express company to embark in the hotel business with his
father-in-law, Mr. A. A. Carr, first at Nevada, O., and later at Bucyrus, O.
. . The hotel business not proving to his liking, he again entered the service of the
Adams Express Co_. in the capacity of extra messenger and agent, which posi-
tion he filled from March, 18S9, to July, 1S90, when he was sent as agent to
Sewickley, Pa. In October, 1890, he accepted the position of chief clerk to the
agent of the f^ennsylvania Co. at Sewickley, in addition to his express agency,
■ ." which places he filled until July 4, 1895, when his father's failing health called
him to act as agent for him for the Pennsylvania and Adams Express compan-
: ies at Loudonville, which positions he filled until the death of his father, Aug.
24, 1895, when he was appointed agent of those companies to succeed his
father, which position he still holds.
He belongs to the Christian church, fs a Knight Templar in Free Masonry,
and is an active member of the Republican party. .Mr. Sanborn has a host of
friends where he is known. His clean, moral record, kindly disposition, and
■'.■_ • affable manner secure for him deserved popularity. He is the father of two
children, Eula Clarilla, aged eight, and Carr Haven, aged four.

ton, N. 11., to Lt)iid()iivilk', Ohio, in 1S37. near which place they settled on
a small farm in a locality where rugged hills and fast-llowing streams
reminded them of the natural grandeur of the old '• Granite State."' There
tour other children were horn to them, two daughters and two sons, and
there the parental heart was first painfully torn by the death of the much
beloved and eldest son, George Punchard. A few years later the family
removed to Loudonville, where the mother died in 1S70, and the father in
1SS2.
The compilation of the Sanborn genealogy by V. C. Sanborn of La
Grange, 111., opened a fruitful lield of investigation and discovery for this
branch of the family, and the writer of this sketch has been amply rewarded
in finding a carefully prepared record, beginning with Jacob Sanborn, born
IMay 7, 171 1, together with letters trom Dyer Hook Sanborn and others of
the kinsfolk in New Hampshire, dating as far back as 182S. Interesting
letters that passed between Joseph B. and Molly Locke Sanborn, at Camp"-
ton, and their sons, David L. and Joseph B.. at Bow and West Concord,
indicate the utmost parental atTection, admonishing them to "beware of
bad talk and strong drink/' We are also informed that our maternal oreat-
grandtather, David Locke, died at Rye on the Sth inst., year not given.
aged seventy-tlve years, leaving thirteen children, all married and living,
ninety grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren, " having accomplished
as an hireling his day. he departed this lite in great resignation to the
appointment of heaven."' A letter dated at New Hampton, Oct. 23. 18:13,
written by James W. Perkins, and directed to J. B. Sanborn, notifies him of
a church meeting at Smith's village on November 13th, and further says,
"you will take upon yourself the trouble of getting out the infirm,"' an hon-
orable custom too little regarded at this day. Another letter, dated at West
Concord, in 1S56, written by Mary E. Sanborn to her uncle. J. B. Sanborn,
at Loudonvdle, O., says: "Father was very much surprised to know you
had turned traitor to our party [Democratic] and joined a party of Hindoos
[Republicans]. But certainly I think there is a great deal of useful time
and money spent on both sides which might be put to better uses than buy-
ing votes. ' And no doubt this fair cousin, if living, is of the same opinion
still. A nephew, Solomon Whitehouse, at Pembroke, says he is " fifty-six
years old, weighs two hundred and twenty pounds, has always prospered
first-rate, and has no reason to complain." Altogether a very interestin^r
communication.
Joseph G. Sanborn was born near Loudonville, Xov. Sth, 1S47, the
second son of Joseph B. and Mary J. Sanborn. Leaving the birthplace

early in life for a more pcrnianent home in the town, recollection runs not
further back than the dav the lamily arrived at Loudonville and took up its
abode in an unpretentious frame house on the corner of two streets. There
he received the rigid training of an honest, capable father, and the warm
love and sympathy of a devoted Christian mother. New England life and
character never atTorded a richer heritarre to a then far-western home than
these parents were to their children. At her death it was said of the mother,
" she was particularly hospitable to strangers, and manv a minister of
Christ can testify to the kind words and courteous attention received tVom
this noble, generous-hearted woman."' Her father, ?vIoses Levant Smith,
died at New Hampton, Nov. lo, 184S.
As a means of obtaining a livelihood the tather adopted the calling of
schoolmaster, and, equipped with the knowledge he had obtained in the
East, he started upon his round of teaching district schools. He was six:
feet in height, strong and active, stern in disposition, and with these quali-
fications his services were eagerly sought, occasionally in those districts
where the voung rogues could boast of havinfr licked the teachers. It is
not within the knowledge of the writer that the "' New Hampshire School-
master" was ever worsted in a tussle with unrulv scholars.
The boy was a beneticiary of the common schools of the town, and
ranked well in the branches of study there taught. One term in the
academy terminated his school days, and in Mav, 1S64, at the age of six-
teen, he entered the ottice of the Ashland Times at Ashland, O., as an
apprentice. The approaching close of the war with the South filled the
public mind with keenest interest and excitement, and newspaper ot^ces
were then centers of industry and activity that taxed the eneriiies of the
entire working force, trom the editor down to the '*de\"il." The time and
place were auspicious for the young neophyte, and he took up the work
with patriotic ardor and a lively ambition to win. The disappointment at
not being able to obtain turther advancement in the schools, was more than
offset by the successes of the three years' apprenticeship that tbllowed, hold-
ing the places of tbreman, local editor, and proot-reader at the close. Three
additional years of service, under good pay, were given his employer, and
then came an opportunit}' to begin business lite on his own account.
In August, 1S70, ?vlr. Sanborn formed a partnership tor the purchase of
the Wooslc-r Rcpnb!ica)i, published at Wooster, O.. ha\ing only ^"3-5 ^^^
cash to invest, and a sutlicient stock of confidence in final success to enable
him to place his name to $9,000 in notes, knowing the responsibility of their
payment would fall upon him. The obligations were all paid, nearly at

matiiritv, and during the fifteen years' business that followed, ever\' draft
was honored and no extensions were asked. An untarnished credit was the
" star in the east "' toward whicli he journeyed. In 1SS5 he retired from
active newspaper work.
On Thanksgiving evening, in 1S76, Mr. Sanborn was united in marriage
with jNIiss Kate E. Day, youngest daughter of Dr. Stephen F. Day, then
deceased. Witli their three children, two daughters and one son, they
enjoy the pleasures of a quiet and happy home in one of the prettiest inland
cities in Ohio, the seat of Wooster University, and the location of the Ohio
agricultural experiment farm.
In politics Mr. Sanborn has always been a Republican, beginning in a
boyish way with '* Fremont and Jessie " in 1S56. He has never held office
under his party, but has held the confidence and esteem of public men who
are now lilling the highest positions of honor to which a citizen of the
United States can be called. His posterity may read with pride the follow-
ing testimonials of his worth :

Earlv in the summer of 1861 he entered the Adjutant-generars office and
enlisted tor the war, and was appointed the first recruiting officer in his
native town. Captain Sanborn having passed a creditable examination
before an officer detailed from the regular army, was said to deserve a cap-
taincy, but as he had onlv asked for a lieutenantcy, on September 20, 1861,
was commissioned second lieutenant of Company I, Fourth regiment; June
12, 1862, he was commissioned first lieutenant of Company K, same regi-
ment, and made captain of the same on x-\ugust 15, 1862. He served 716
days constantlv on dutv, then being a first lieutenant in said Company I ;
was detached as commissary. He was without sickness during the entire
period. While Captain he went to the front as a private soldier, in order to
make the heavv details as light as possible, his men being worn down by
fatigue and sickness. Twice during the siege of Morris Island, and Wag-
ner, Captain Sanborn was met by A. S. Cate, aide-de-camp upon the
staff of Gen. L. A. Gilmore, who said he was sent by the general com-
manding to sav that he, Sanborn, had earned brevet rank, which matter
would be attended to. On the occurrence of the sanguinary engagements
which followed, and the Captain regarding it as a matter of less moment,
and not calling the attention of the commanding general to the case, the
matter dropped. Nevertheless, it was Sanborn who marched his brave
New Hampshire men, armed only with spades, without cover at midday,
still nearer the fort, extending the approaches, and under a terrific cannon-
ade. Captain Sanborn was inclined to enter the regular service at the close
of the war, but exposure during the long sieges around Charleston and
Richmond had so undermined his once vigorous constitution that tailing
health told him too plainly that his active military career was drawing to a
close. The Tenth Army Corps Medical Board concluded that as he had
Sfone down twice he would not rallv a third time. At'ter three vears" ser-
vice, soon atler the Battle of the Mine, in front of Petersburg, having been
engaged in the action, he entered the Crater in person. Deferring to the
highest authority, notwithstanding his attachments under the flag ot the
iC
494 SAMJORX GEXEALO(;V.
Union, and the brave men from his native hills, he turned his lingering
steps towards home. Soon at'ter the close of the war Captain Sanborn
organized that stalwart bodv of nien, known as the Merrimack Guards,
which included manv members of war regiments of honorable records, men
whose ancestral lines linked them with the redoubtable sons of New Hamp-
shire who followed Cillev to Saratoga, and .McClary to Lexington and Con-
cord. Upon the organization of the National Guard, he took an active part
and interest, holding several commissions, the date of his present one as
colonel of the Third being May 15, 1SS9. At his last encampment Colonel
Sanborn had the pleasure of drilling his regiment by regimental drill cards.
There are ten movements on each, produced by himself troni personal
knowledge and aptitude trom the new tactics just issued by brigade author-
ity, said authoritv kindly assuming expense of printing.
The colonel has alwavs resided quietly on the homestead tarm, and has
seen a family of six children, live sons and one daughter, grow up about his
table. He has never held political office. Colonel Sanborn married Nov.

Sandwich, N. II. Married March 24, 1S46, Mary Ann Brown, daughter

and last sickness of his mother, George was kindly taken by his uncle. Jere-
emiah Wilson, Esq., and wife, Abigail Prescott Sanborn, sister of George's
father, to their home in Gilmanton but a few miles distant, probably in part,
at least, as a measure of relief to his parents. After his mother's death,
which occurred when Georo-e was three vears and three davs old, he was
returned to his lather's house. There under the changed conditions it was
to him home no longer, and he earnestly begged to return to his uncle's,
where he had undoubtedly been petted and indulged, they liaving no child-
ren. Jiis wishes were complied with. He returned to his uucle's and has
had his home there to this time. He inherited from his foster-parents the
old homestead, originally the property of his great-grandfather, Humphrey
Wilson, an original proprietor of the town of Gilmanton, granted in 1727.
Each generation holding the place has made large additions, and the larm
now includes what was formerly quite a number of farms and contains
nearly eight hundred acres, with another tract of wood and pasture land ot
about the same amount. Mr. Sanborn built mills for sawing and v.'orking
lumber, threshincr, and rrrindin<r, constructed a water reservoir of over
forty acres for irrigation and water-power, made canals for and carried
on the most extensive S3'st.em of irrigation in the eastern section ot the

twice chosen him as their Representative to the general court and about fitty
times Moderator in their town meetin<js. (k^ -. < :,

Coming, as he did, of stock of prominence in the state, and of good Revo-
lutionary families on both sides, it may be assumed as natural that he should
later develop those military and executive qualities which have distin-
guished him. But few if any among our family have won such honors in
camp and forum as has this member, of whom we may all feel justly proud.
In prefacing this short biography, the editor may add that none of the San-
borns have so kindlv, intellisentlv, and ablv aided him in the task ot
searching out and properlv inscribing the history of the Sanborns of this
country and their origin across the water. General Sanborn's labor in this
behalf began many years ago. when he reprinted the pamphlet Sanborn
Genealogy and the writer's tirst pamphlet, embodying with them a short
and modest account of his own military achievements. This reprint has
never been generally circulated, owing to General Sanborn's determination
not to publish his autobiography until at'ter his death : but the main facts
here set forth are taken trom that account, and from a very interesting
sketch of General Sanborn, written for the United States Biographical Dic-
tionary.
x\fter receiving a common school education, he prepared to enter Dart-
mouth College, but instead of continuing his literary studies, entered the law
office of Judge Asa Fowler of Concord, X. H., and at"ter reading tor three
years he was admitted to practice at a term of the Superior Court held in
July, 1854. In December of the same year he came to Minnesota and
located at St. Paul, where he has lived since that date, steadily practicing
law when not en<iafed in the service of the state or the nation.
In i859-'6o ?ilr. Sanborn was a member of the lower house of the legis-
lature, serving as chairman of the judiciary committee, and was largely
528 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
instrumental in shaping the system of fundamental laws pertaining to
county and township organization and government, and the levying and
collecting of taxes, — a system, says a writer, " which brougiit credit to tl^e
treasur}-, and financial order out of confusion."' The next year he was sen.t
to the upper house of the legislature, and was there at work looking after
the interests of his constituents when the old flag was insulted and disgraced
at Charleston, S. C, and he was called upon to act in defense of his coun-
try. In April, 1S61, he was appointed by Governor Ramsey Adjutant-Gen-
eral and acting Qi^iartermaster-General of the state, and organized the tirst
Minnesota re<Timents tor the War of the Rebellion. In December of the
same year he was commissioned Colonel of the 4th iNIinnesota Infantry, with
headquarters at Fort Snelling. During that winter he garrisoned the posts
and had command of the troops along the tVontier of the state; and early in
the spring of 1S62 he took his regiment to the South, reaching Pittsburgh
Landing just in season to take position in the army advancing on Corinth.
Colonel Sanborn was immediately assigned to the command ot a demi-
brigade, composed of three regiments and a batterv. holding that position
until the evacuation of those works, when he was assigned to the com-
mand of the first brigade, seventh division, Army of the Mississippi, sub-
sequently the seventeenth army corps.
On the 19th of September, 1862, with his brigade (twenty-two hundred
men), he fought the battle of luka without much aid, and, although los-
ing six hundred of his men in less than an hour and a halt", he held his
position and won a brilliant victory. For his gallantry displayed on this
occasion he was promoted to Brigadier-General of volunteers. He was in
the battles of Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, and the
assault and siege ofVicksburg, and part of this time had command ot a
division ; everywhere and on all trying occasions exhibiting the firmness,
coolness, and bravery shown at luka, and has the honor of being speCially
recommended to the military committee of the Senate by General Grant tor
confirmation in 1863. After the surrender of Vicksburg, on the 4th ot
July, 1S63, General Sanborn had command of the southwest district ot
Missouri, where, after the campaign against the rebel General Price, upon
the recommendation of General Rosecrans, he was breveted Major-
General.
General Sanborn served until the close of the war, and was then sent to
the upper Arkansas and along the Smoky Hill River, to open to travel the
long lines closed for two years across the plains to Colorado and New
Mexico, and to restore order in that part of our territory. In November,

1865, by order of the President, he visited the Indian Territory and suc-
ceeded in a very short time in establishing the proper reLitions between the
late slaves of the Indians and their former masters.
In 1S67 General Sanborn, — with Generals Sherman, Harney, Terry, and
Senator Henderson of Missouri, — was appointed a special peace commis-
sioner to the Indians. The commissioners held councils and made treaties
with the CheN'enne, Camanciie, Northern Arapahoe, and Crow tribes, and
the several bands of the Sioux nation. This commission recommended a
fixed policy to be pursued towards the Indians ; and that policy, while fol-
lowed, was decidedly economical, and resulted in comparative safety to the
settlements on the frontier.
For the last ten or twelve years General Sanborn has given close attention
to the legal profession, and stands high at the Ramsey County bar and in his
judicial district. He practises in the several courts of the state and in all
the United States courts. He was in the state legislature in i860— '62, 1872,
1881, 1892, 1893, 1894, and 1895.
The General was originally a Whig, and since that party disbanded has
been an earnest and active Republican. He was put torward as a candidate
for the United States Senate when Hon. M. S. Wilkinson was chosen, and
came within two or three votes of being nominated in caucus, which would
have been equivalent to an election.
His religious sentiments accord with those of the Presbyterians, but he is
a member of no church.
General Sanborn's first wife was Miss Catharine Hall of Newton, N. J. ;
married in March, 1857. She died in November, i860, leaving one child,
— Hattie F., who died at twenty years. His second wife was Miss Anna
Nixon of Bridgeton, N. J.,— sister of Judge Nixon of that state; married
on the 27th of November, 1865. She died on the 25th of June, 1878. His
I third wife was Miss Rice of St. Paul, by whom he has had four children,
all living.

and all other United States volunteers in iMinnesota on the ist day of January, 1862. The
command of the regiment was retained by me until the 12th day of May, 1862, when, having
moved to Hamburg Landing, Tenn., and been assigned to the ist brigade, 3d division. Army
of the Mississippi, I was assigned by Brigadier-General Schuyler Hamilton, then commanding
the 3d division of that army, to the command of the ist demi-brigade of the ist brigade of
said division. I retained this command until the 25th day of June, A. D. 1862 (except while
on detached service), when I assumed command of the ist brigade, third division. Army of the
Mississippi, and remained in command of this brigade, with the exception of the time from
Sept. 20, 1S62, to Oct. 5, 1862, and except when temporarily absent, until Aug. 4, 1S63, at
which time my resignation was accepted by General Grant : and not having been advised of
my promotion to my present grade until Sept. 11, 1S63, I was not in command during this
interim.
Immediately upon being advised of my promotion, my resignation was withdrawn, and I was
mustered out of my old grade and into that of Brigadier-General of volunteers Sept. 12, 1863,
and received orders the same day to report to Major-General Grant, commanding the Depart-
ment of the Tennessee.
Proceeding at once to report to General Grant, as ordered, when reaching Memphis I was
advised by Major-General Sherman that General Grant would soon be at that place, and
directed to remain there and await his arrival. Upon General Grant's arrival at Memphis,
about the nth day of October, I received an order from Major-General Halleck, through him,
directing me to report to .Major-General Schofield, commanding the Department ot the Mis-
souri, and reported to Major-General Schofield on the 15th day of October, A. D. 1863, and
was assigned to the command of the District of Southwest Missouri. I proceeded at once to
Springfield, Mo., assumed command of the district on the 24th day of October, A. D. 1863,
and have been in command since that date.
By permission of Major-General Grant, commanding the Department of the Tennessee, I
left my command on the ist day of January, 1S63, to go to St. Paul and adjust some unsettled
accounts with the state, while the legislature was in session, connected with my business as
Acting Quartermaster-General of the state. I was absent on this business until Feb. 5, 1S63.
my command lying at and east of Memphis, on the railroad, during this time. This is the
only instance of my being absent from my command except on detached service.
Immediately after the return of the army from the pursuit of Beauregard's army, after the
evacuation of Corinth, I was detailed on a general court martial, of which Brigadier-General
Plummer of the United States Volunteers was President, and Major Morrison of the 5th Iowa
Infantry was Judge Advocate. This court met about the loth day of June, A. D. 1862. at
Camp Clear Creek, Miss., and adjourned about the 15th day of July, 1S62. During this time
General Plummer was relieved from duty on the court, and Colonel Eckley of the Soth Ohio
Infantry became President, and Major Morrison was relieved as Judge Advocate and Capt.
John E. Tourtellotte of the 4th Minnesota Volunteers detailed in his stead. This court
adjourned for several days during its organization, and tlie members made a campaign toward
Holly Springs and returned during the time, in command of their troops.
Soon after the adjournment of this court, I was detailed on a general court martial which
convened at Camp Clear Creek, Miss., about the 20th day of July, 1862, and adjourned about
the loth day of August, A. D. 1862. Of this court martial I was President, and Capt. John E.
Tourtellotte was Judge Advocate.
A general court martial was convened at Jacinto, Miss., on the 25th day of September, A. D.

1862, and adjourned the 30th day of September, A. D. 1862. Of this court martial I was
president, and Capt. John E. Tourtellotte of the 4th Minnesota Volunteers was jud^e advocate.
On the 15th day of April, 1S63, I assumed command of the 7th division. Army of the Ten-
nessee, the same troops as the 3d division, Army of the .Mississippi, and remained in com-
mand until the 3d day of May, A. D. 1S63.
The foregoing constitutes all the detached service I have ever been on.
I have been engaged in the following battles and sieges : -
1862, May, in the siege of Corinth.
1862, Sept. 19, in the advance upon and Battle of " luka."' 1 fought this battle with my
command, aided in the fighting only by the nth Missouri Infantry. The moral effect of the
presence of other troops, of course, aided in securing the result, and there were some losses in
the reserve lines.
1862, Oct. 3 and 4, in the Battle of Corinth ; on these days commanding my regiment, and
hotly engaged both days. In the pursuit of Van Dorns Army till Oct. 14, 1S62 : during pur-

and on to the Battle of Fort Gibson ; embarked 6,000 men and twenty pieces of artillery, with
the horses, etc. ; sailed ten miles down the river and disembarked in little more than two
hours, and moved forward eight miles to the field of battle and formed in position on the left
of the enemy about 4 o'clock p. m., all the time within sound of the battle.
1863, May 3, in a heavy skirmish most of the day at Forty Hills, and drove the enemy
across the Big Black. All my command this day, consisting of my brigade, was engaged.
1863, May 12, in the Battle of Raymond, my command formed under a heavy fire of the
enemy's artillery, on his right, almost simultaneously with the enemy turning General Logan's
right ; the enemy's line soon broke, and he tied from the field.
1863, May 14, in the Battle of Jackson, my command formed the right of the line of battle,
formed on the Jackson and Clinton road, and made a charge in conjunction with the balance
of the division, which resulted in the rout of the enemy and the capture of twenty pieces of
artillery, many prisoners, and my leading regiment raised its colors over the dome of the capi-
tol of the state.
1863, .May 16, in the Battle of Champion Hills; whole command engaged during the entire
battle, capturing prisoners, colors, etc.
1863, May 22, in the assault upon Vicksburg ; whole command engaged all day, reaching

532 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
St. Paul. July 30, 1872.
Assistant Adjutant -General, United States Army :
General: — I have the honor to acknowledge tlie receipt of your communication of April
4th, 1S72, requesting me to furnish a report of my military services from March 28th, A. D.
1864, to the time that I was mustered out of said service, which in connection with the report
made by me heretofore up to that date will cover my military history during the war.
I believe I am correct in stating that I had no leave of absence during the war. I was de-
tailed on a court martial that convened at St. Louis about tlie middle of November, as I recol-
lect, 1864, and which tried Generals McXeel and Brown upon charges of misconduct in presence
of the enemy during the Price raid in October. I think General Meredith was President of this
court and Major Black Judge Advocate. But I have not tlie orders. All is stated from recol-
lection, and I may be in error. I sat upon the court only about one week, when I was relieved,
and soon after returned to my command in the Southwest.
All officers on my staff during the war were well qualified for their positions, and discharged
their duties with ability, zeal, and integrity, and all have been respectable citizens since the
war, so far as I have heard.
I remained in command of the district of Southwest Missouri until the 7th day of June,
A. D. 1865.
During the period from March 28, 1864, to the time I was relieved from the command ot
the district of Southwest Missouri, my principal services consisted in maintaining the disci-
pline and improving the efficiency of my own command, protecting the country and people
from the incursions and ravages of the bands and organizations of rebel bushwhackers that
constantly infested it, resisting the advance of the rebel army of the Southwest into Missouri
in September and October, A. D. 1864, pursuing, attacking, and defeating that army at Jeffer-
son City, Vincennes, California Station, Tipton, Booneville, Independence. Big Blue, Marais
des Cygnes, Little Osage, and Newtonia, and in the restoration of the functions of the civil
law, and the protection of persons and property thereunder, in a few^ weeks after the surrender
of the rebel armies, in that section of country, where it had been wholly swept away by the war,
and where martial law had reigned supreme for four years.
In this ser\-ice there is perhaps little that will be of advantage or benefit to a future age or
worthy of any place in history.
That which impressed m.e the most profoundly was the barbarity and cruelty manifested and
practised by the rebel forces thus operating in this section of country. The contending forces
were largely relatives, neighbors, and friends before the war. The barbarous practices of the
rebel forces in this section commenced with the commencement of the war, and continued to
its close. The first Union citizen killed by them after the war commenced was horribly muti-
lated after death. His hands were cut off", his tongue cut out, his chin peeled off, and his per-
son otherwise cut and disfigured ; and during all the time of my command in that section there
was no instance of any Union soldier killed by these roving rebel forces and falling into their
hands, who was not cut to pieces in the most horrible manner, the mode and extent of mutila-
tion far exceeding in inhumanity and cruelty that ever practised by the barbarous tribes of this
country upon their captives taken or enemies killed in war and battle.
My only object in referring to this in my report at this time is to show that the principle of
inhumanity and cruelty e.xists in civilized and enlightened people as well as barbarous tribes,
and that under certain conditions it will develop in its greatest ferocity.
These brutalities were never practised by our troops upon the dead, and only produced an
'.;!

uncontrollable purpose on their part to destroy the perjjetrators of such enormities. The Fed-
eral troops carried on a relentless war against these bands, and took but few prisoners com-
pared with the number killed in action. The prisoners taken were tried before military com-
missions, and when found guilty of murder, arson, etc., were shot. The number of these
rebel marauders killed by my command during the period of nineteen months of my operations
in that section exceeded three thousand, while my own losses did not reach five hundred.
.This vigorous warfare carried on against them, and compelling all who aided or befriended
I them to leave the country, restored order and established security to person and property in
that region.
I In the autumn of 1864, in addition to commanding my district, I commanded a brigade of
1 cavalry resisting the attack of the rebel army under Price upon Jefterson City, Mo., and
i attacked the same army with a division of cavalry at V'incennes and California Station the fol-
i lowing day, and at Tipton and Booneville on the two following days. I commanded a brigade
\ of cavalry in the attack upon the same army at Independence, Big Blue, Marais des Cygne."?,
! Little Osage, Mine Run, and Newtonia.
} To reach and attack the rebel army at Marais des Cygnes on the night of the day of
j October, I marched till i o'clock on the morning of that day, having marched in rear of the
\ army under General Curtice all day, and passed the other brigade in bivouac at the trading
I post about 10 o'clock that evening, with the assent of General Curtice and the approval of
I General Pleasanton, who ordered the remaining portion of his command, Benteen's and Phil-
1 lips' brigades, to follow me and act under my orders. I opened the attack at the earliest dawn
I on the rebel camp, and driving the enemy out, ordered forward the brigades of Benteen and
I Phillips, which forced the enemy to form in line to protect his trains. These brigades charg-
ing that line, broke it, capturing seven pieces of artillery and eight hundred prisoners.
To get into the Battle of Newtonia, I marched one hundred and four miles in thirty-six
hours, and if I had been a half hour later than I was, our troops would have been defeated
there.
So far as I participated in battles, perhaps there is nothing worthy of special mention, unless
it is that during the three years in which I commanded in the field, and in twenty sieges, bat-
tles, and affairs, in several of which my command suffered in killed and wounded terribly, still
it was always able to execute every order it received, and was never driven from its position
and never pursued by the enemy. No sound man was ever taken prisoner from it to my
knowledge. I write this not to gratify any feelings of elation, but for history, as showing that
our soldiers were gallant and efficient, and our commanders discreet and intelligent, as well as
brave.
The surrender of the large rebel armies on the Atlantic coast was immediately followed by
the surrender of the rebel forces in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, and as south-
west Missouri was efe jure in a loyal state, it opened a field for the reconstruction of society
I under the civil law immediately.
1 To that end General Order No. 35 was issued by me on the 8th day of May, 1865, the
jsubstance of which was to relinquish martial law, and the refusal longer to control and govern
'the country thereby, and applying it only to two classes of offences, viz., efforts and attempts
jto intimidate judges, jurors, sheriffs, justices of the peace, etc., and any refusal of these offi-
cers to act at once upon the proper c(3mplaint or information of any citizen. At the same time
I placed the whole Federal force in the district at the command of these officers of the peace.
This gave confidence to these officers immediately, and the energy with which they com-
534 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
menced to enforce the statute and civil law struck terror into otTenders, and order and general
security to person and property were very speedily restored, and that in a community and over
a large scope of country where martial law had held sole and exclusive sway for four years, and
where the people had come to feel that there was no security or safety in any other system of
law or government, and that to cast it otT for the old system was not desirable.
For this order I received the following acknowledgment from his excellency, the Governor
of Missouri, viz. :
State of Missouri, Executive Department,
City of Jefferson, June i, 1865.
General: — I have been for some days intending to write you, expressing my thanks to
you for the appropriateness, timeliness, and perspicuity of your General Order Xo. 35.
The disruption of society and the general demoralization in civil afi'airs caused by the rebel-
lion in every Southern state, but most especially in Missouri, have rendered the restoration of
the civil law a task, the severity and onerousness of which can only L; appreciated by those
who have to contribute towards its performance as you have done and are doing.
The 'order is most admirably conceived, clearly expressed, and has throughout the right
tone, and in it I recognize and gratefully acknowledge the most eflfective assistance I have yet
received towards the reestablishment of order in .Missouri.
Rest assured that when peace and the arts of industry shall once more have assumed their
legitimate sway in the state which you have done so much to save, your name will be cherished
with increasing reverence as our prosperity tlows on in an uninterrupted tide.
I am. General, with great respect.
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Thos. C. Fletcher.
Brevet Maj.-Gen. John B. Sanborn.
Before the prisoners that had surrendered to me in May had all been paroled, and on the
7th day of June, 1865, I received by telegraph an order from General Pope, commanding the
Department of the .Missouri, to turn over my command to the officer next in rank, and report
to him in person without delay.
I reported as ordered, and was ordered to proceed to the Plains, and take command of the
district of the upper Arkansas, with headquarters at Fort Riley, and make a campaign against
the Camanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and Apache Indians.
This order was at once executed and I assumed command of the District of the Upper
Arkansas, July 12, 1865. My command here consisted of about tive thousand cavalry- and two
thousand infantry. This command was wretchedly supplied, and it required two weeks to put
it in condition for operations in the field.
About the first of .August the cavalry was put in motion against the Indians, and within two
weeks thereafter a half-breed messenger arrived from the Indian camp with a statement from
the chiefs and headmen that they did not want war and never had, and desired me to come to
their camp and make arrangements- for a council to agree upon terms of permanent peace.
I sent back word that I would be at their camp near the mouth of the Little -Arkansas in three
days, and proceeded thither with mv adjutant-general and some six orderlies.
The Indians received me kindly on the eighteenth day of .August, 1865, and agreed to cease
all acts of violence or injury to the frontier settlements and travelers on any of the lines of
-1)

travel, and to meet commissioners appointed on behalf of the United States on the fourth day
of October and agree upon terms of perpetual peace.
The quiet and security of the southern plains was at once restored, and was not interrupted
for nearly two years.
Perliaps there is nothing that I could add that will be of service or interest in the future in
regard to carrying on military operations against the Indians. While I found them entirely
reliable and honorable in all negotiations looking to a settlement of difficulties, doing as they
agreed and all they agreed, and protecting all messengers and persons sent to tiiem upon
that business, I found that in carrying on war and hostilities that they relied solely upon strat-
agems and surprises, and destroyed all small bodies of troops that they could reach and made
efforts to capture all stock and property unguarded, and avoided all conflict with and even
being seen by any respectable number of our soldiers at the same time.
This rendered it absolutely necessary if you would tight them at all to attack their villages.
Their costume and dress are such that our soldiers cannot as a rule, especially in the excitement
of battle, distinguish between the sexes, and hence in an attack upon a village all sexes and
generally all ages suffer indiscriminately. My impression is that they are a people easily man-
aged and easily satisfied, and that for a government like ours to go to war with them is little
less than disgraceful.
I was designated as one of the commissioners to meet the Indians in council on the 4th day
of October, A. D. 1865, at the mouth of the Little Arkansas (the District of the Upper
Arkansas having been merged into the District of Kansas in September, and having been
i relieved of all command myself except the troops designated for muster out of the service, and
as an escort for the commissioners to the mouth of the Little Arkansas). General Harney.
I Kit Carson, William Bent, and Judge from the Interior department, were the other com-
I missioners. My duties on this commission terminated about the first of November, 1865, and
I proceeded at once to Fort Riley and found awaiting my arrival Special Order No. 559,
Paragraph 16, War Department Series of 1S65, and on the 8th of November I received a
telegraphic order directing me to report in person to the Secretary of the Interior as soon as
practicable.
This order was at once complied with, and on the 20th day of November, A. D. 1865, the
instructions of the Secretary of the Interior were received. The duties imposed were the
establishment of the freedom of the slaves of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and
Seminole tribes of Indians, and the adoption of some plan under which these freedmen could
be protected and enjoy their freedom in the Indian Territory.
My first step was to publish in form of a circular the instructions received from the Interior
Department, which set forth fully the object of my mission and the end sought by the govern-
ment. This circular was distributed to all the government otticials and the leading men of the
respective tribes of Indians. I followed this up with consultations and councils with the repre-
sentative men of the respective tribes. No difficulty whatever was experienced in securing
absolute freedom and every right from the Creek and Seminole nations to their former slaves.
These tribes at once recognized them as a band, and allowed them a chief with a seat and vote
in their councils, and at once entered into contracts with them for their labor. Order and
good feeling prevailed in these tribes.
With the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Cherokees the case was different. Each of these
tribes protested against their former slaves remaining with them or in their country. But when
536 SANBORX GKNEAT.OGY.
satisfied that it was the determined purpose of the government to protect these freedmen,
either in certain sections of the reservations of the respective tribes that might be specially set
apart for them ; or wherever they should live on these reservations, their prejudices, though
strong, yielded to discretion, and in two months after my arrival in the territory all seemed to
have concluded to sustain the government fully in whatever course it should adopt as to the
freedmen of these tribes. Their old slave codes, which were among the greatest obstacles
that I had to overcome, as they felt that what was lawful might and ought to be done with
impunity, were soon repealed, contracts in writing were made by nearly all who employed
negro labor, or with whom these freedmen lived, and the heart burnings, bitterness, and strife
that existed between the two races on my arrival, making the person and property of both
insecure, disappeared under the policy of the government in the short space of four months,
and the freedom of the black race and the harmony and happiness of both races in that
territory were secured.
General Order No. 16S, series of 1865, War Department, included my name among the
general officers there named to be mustered out Febn.iary i, 1S66.
On the nth of January, A. D. 1S66, I was advised by telegraph that that order would not
take effect in my case till I was relieved from the duty to which I had been assigned by Special
Orders No. 559, dated October 20. 1865, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior
Department.
On or about the first day of April, A. D. 1S66. I informed the Honorable Secretary of the
Interior that I had fully performed the duties and accomplished the mission for which I had
been sent to the Indian Territory, that satisfactory relations e.xisted between the freedmen and
their former masters in that country, and that all further services required by the government
could be as well performed by the Indian agents and superintendents as by any officers, and on
the 13th day of April, 1866, I was informed by telegraph in response to my communication.
that I was relieved from further dutv in the Indian Territory, and that my muster out of service
would take eiTect April 30th, inst. I proceeded to Washington and at once settled and closed
my accounts with all the bureaus and departments with the service of which I had lieen
connected.
In closing this imperfect sketch I desire to state that during the whole period of my service
the general officers under whom I served. Pope, Rosecrans, Hamilton. Grant. McPherson,
Crocker, Smith, Schofield, Pleasanton, and Dodge, in all places and under all circumstances,
whether in battle, in camp or on the march, always responded to every request of mine with
the greatest promptness, and gave me every aid in their power, so that a failure of mine in any
respect could have been no fault of theirs. And it is with me a deep conviction that the
patriot can express no better wish for his country than that whenever in the long future she
shall be assailed either by foreign foes or domestic traitors, she may have at command armies
as patriotic and gallant, and officers as faithful and skilful as those which crushed the
Rebellion of 1861.
I have the honor to be, ^ ■

16S6. Robert Cooke (951) Sanborn, born in Knoxville, Tenn., Oct.
5, 1S60. A successful merchant in Lisbon, X. D., — a dealer in agricul-
tural implements. Married Dec. 25, 1SS9, Jennie F. Bigger of Lisbon,
born Sept. 24, 1S70. No issue.
1699. Henry B. (984) Sanborn, was born in St. Lawrence County,
New York, Sept. 10, 1845. His father was engaged in the lumber busi-
ness in the winter and farming in the summer. He was educated in the
common schools and academies of St. Lawrence County, attending the
diflerent institutes until his twentieth year, when he started out for the
West. He reached De Kalb, 111., in June, 1864, and for a time made his
home with Mr. J. F. Glidden, the inventor of barbed wire. In 1864, Mr.
Sanborn went to Minneapolis, Minn., where he secured employment with
an uncle in the lumber and milling business, where he remained one year.
He then returned to De Kalb, and engaged in the sale of wooden
eave-troughs.
In the spring of 1872, Mr. Sanborn became impressed with the idea that
there was money to be made in shipping horses to Denver market, and
accordingly made a shipment of two car-loads, which proved satisfactory,
and afterwards formed a partnership with Mr. Judson P. Warner for the
purpose of continuing the enterprise.
In the meantime Mr. Glidden had been conducting the experim.ents
which resulted in the production of barbed wire, and the first patent covering
his invention was secured and bore date November 24, 1874. Smooth wire
had already been used to a considerable extent for fencing purposes, and
among others, Mr. Glidden had used more or less of it for fencing his tarm
near De Kalb. In the fall of 1874, ^^^' Glidden gave, for a nominal sum,
a half interest in his patent to Mr. I. L. Ellwood of De Kalb. A factory
was then erected in De Kalb for its manufacture, at a cost of $io,oco or
$15,000.
At Mr. Glidden's house Miss Ellen M. Wheeler resided, Mr. Sanborn
first meeting her there. Courtship followed, and on Feb. 20. 1868, they
were married, continuing their home with Mr. Glidden. On Aug. 16,
1869, their first and only child was born, and was named Ellwood Bradley
Sanborn. He was given good educational advantages, graduating at
Orchard Lake (Mich.) Military Academy with highest honors, as Captain
of his company, in 1S88. He w\as Lieutenant of the company of cadets
selected from this school, who entered and won the first prize ot $1,000,
given at the national prize drill at Washington, D. C, May 30, 18S7.

THE AMERICAN SANBORNS. 549
Upon his return home, a young man of extraordinary promise, he interested
himself in his father's varied business, until his death, Dec. i, 1890.
A contract was made with Messrs. Glidden *N: Ellwood and Sanborn &
Warner, providing, in substance, that Sanborn & Warner were to introduce
and sell exclusively the entire barbed-wire product of the factor}' for a period
of two years, and late in the fall of 1S74, ^^^'' Sanborn started out with a
sample panel of barbed-wire fence, to introduce the new invention to the
hardware dealers ; first, to the towns adjacent to De Kalb, where the tirst
and onl}' barbed-wire factory then existed. But few favored it, and, as a
rule, he was advised to jxo on further West. The first sale of two or three
reels being made at Rochelle, 111., other small sales followed.
Tidings of this new and prosperous enterprise soon spread. x\mong
others, the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Co., of Worcester, Mass.,
hearing of the new invention and sale of the wire at fifteen cents per pound
(the price at which it first sold to the trade), were quick to observe the
chance of an immense profit in its manufacture. x\ proposition was made
to Mr. Glidden, which resulted in the transfer of his one-half interest in the
patent and manufacturing plant at De Kalb to the company mentioned
above, Sanborn & Warner retaining their two years' contract until its
expiration.
In September, 1S75, Mr. Sanborn made a trip to Texas in the interest of
barbed wire and to ascertain and satisfv himself what the prospects were for
the introduction and sale of barbed wire in that state. The onlv encourage-
ment obtainable was that more or less fencing material was needed and
being used. The prejudice against the use of barbed wire seemed to be gen-
' eral and very strong; the idea of using dangerous barbs on wire b}' which
pastures were to be enclosed seemed preposterous to nearly all Texans, and
they were only too willing to condemn it without a trial.
After spending only a few days in Texas, Mr. Sanborn telegraphed the
company to send a car-load to Sherman. Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.
and requested his partner, Mr. Warner, to come immediately to help him in-
troduce and sell it ; whereupon the wire was shipped, Mr. Warner came and
joined Mr. Sanborn and immediately commenced the work of. arranging
with some dealer to receive each consignment of wire upon its arrival,
and then took the field in the countrv for the purpose of introducing it to
actual consumers. Mr. Sanborn went to Rockport. and there sold the well-
known firm of Coleman, Mathias & Fulton, ranchmen, tor their own use,
the first car-load of barbed wire ever sold in Texas to consumers.
Outlying ranches were also visited by stage or private conveyance, and

a few reels of wire placed here and there, where they would best serve as
advertisements, and in December both Mr. Sanborn and Mr. Warner
returned to the northern field of operation. In tlie fall of iSS6, they re-
turned to Texas, and on Jan. i, 1887, at the expiration of their former
agreement, they then made a new contract with the Wasiiburn & Moen
Manufacturing Co. for the exclusive sale of the Glidden barbed wire in the
state of Texas, and established their office and l>eadquarters at Houston.
From the time Mr. Sanborn made his first trip to Texas he was favorably
impressed witli the great fertility and cheapness of Texas lands, and began
looking around in search of the most promising lands for investment, and
in the fall of 1886 a tract of somethincj over 2,000 acres was found in Grav-
son county, about twelve miles west of Sherman, which suited so well he
purchased it at $2.25 per acre. The title of this land was afterwards the
subject of dispute, and Mr. Sanborn bought the claimant's title, thus making
the lands cost him about $4.25 per acre. Mr. Sanborn continued purchas-
ing lands adjacent, at prices ranging from $4 to $15 per acre, until he was
the owner of 10,300 acres in a body. Shortly after purchasing the first tract,
Mr. Sanborn began stocking it with horses and cattle, making a specialty
of horses, and secured the best imported Percheron and French Coach stal-
lions. He also raised a stock of roadsters and trotting horses, jacks and
jennets, until his herd became one of the largest and most valuable in
America.
From first to last the ranch was conducted in a thorough and systematic
manner, Mr. Sanborn conducting it as a source of pleasure and recreation,
as well as a source of protit. The business increased in volume until tliere
were something over 1,000 head of horses on the ranch, and the annual
sale of stock ran from $25,000 to $40,000.
, In 1881, Mr. Sanborn, being desirous of making further investments and
increasing his land and cattle interests, formed a partnership with his friend
Mr. Glidden, and purchased an enormous tract of land in Potter and Ran-
dall counties, situated in what is known as the Panhandle country of Texas.
Their first purchase consisted of ninety-five sections, or 60.800 acres, but it
was soon after increased by subsequent purchases to 125,000 acres: this
alternating with the same amount of school land, made 250,000 acres in
all, and which was at that time 250 miles from the nearest railroad station.
Distance, however, was -not so great a consideration those days as now,
and in 18S2 this vast area was enclosed with a four-barbed wire lence, the
wagon freight alone on the wire costing $2.50 per 100 pounds, and the
entire construction of the fence cost something over $39,000. The pasture
,( I

was then stocked with about 15,000 head of cattle, and was one of the first
fenced pastures of any size in the Pan Handle, and is known as the Pan
Handle or Fryino- Pan ranch.
In 1SS7, the Fort Worth & Denver City railroad was extended through
to Denver, and the line located through about the centre of the ranch and
the town site of Amarillo and county seat of Potter county was then located
near its east boundary line. The town grew rapidly, and about 1,200
people congregated there, it being the principal shipping point of the Pan
Handle recrion.
While Mr. Sanborn was amusing himself with the transit of Amarillo,
his wire and ranch business was still conducted under his personal super-
vision. Mr. Sanborn's interest in the growth of Amarillo has never fal-
tered. He has given the town an extensive water-works system, with
several miles of mains, and has figured prominently in all measures I'or
the public good.
In the early spring of 1SS7, Mr. Sanborn purchased 17.337 acres of land
in Clay county, Texas, situated in the forks of the Little Wichita and Red
rivers. The lands are enclosed, and upon it he carries about 3,000 head
of steers, buvino- them when thev are voung and selling as thev mature,
which has been remunerative. The lands 'have enhanced in value, and
the investment has been a profitable one. In January, 1S92, Mr. Sanborn
purchased the Hutchins House property, in Houston, Tex., and expended
$45,000 in repairing it, making it one of the principal hotels in the city.
Some two years since, Messrs. Glidden & Sanborn decided upon a divi-
sion of the Texas property in which they were jointly interested, and this
was finally elTected in the fall of 1S94, Mr. Sanborn retaining the town
property and about 25,000 acres of the grazing lands, while Mr. Glidden
took the remaining 100,000 acres of the tract originally purchased. They
had been for some time crraduallv reducing their holding of cattle, and in
November of the year mentioned, the balance of the herd, numbering some
5,000 head, was sold to I. L. Ellwood of De Kalb, 111. Mr. Sanborn has
leased 15,000 acres in addition to the 25,000 he owns, and is actively
engaged in stocking it, proposing to carr\' trom 1.500 to 2,000 head. He
is still active in advancing the interests of the town of Amarillo, for which
he has done so much in the past, and will certainly aid materially in further-
ing the developm.ent of the surrounding country.
In disposing of the Grayson County ranch, Mr. Sanborn received in
exchange some valuable Kansas City property, including one of the fines:
residences in the city, a costlv structure of granite and Massachusetts brown

sandstone, located in an aristocratic quarter. It is a home of which he may
justly be envied the possession, but in the activ'e management of his varied
business interests, Mr. Sanborn is allowed comparatively little leisure for
its enjoyment.
Mr. Sanborn is also deserving of much credit as being the first to attempt
the breeding of thoroughbred Percheron and French Coach horses in Texas.
It was an innovation of a decided type, for the impression had somehow
gone abroad that Texas could breed nothing better than longhorn cattle
and scrub ponies ; but, though Mr. Sanborn essayed the task as an experi-
ment and not as a possible speculation, he was at no time in doubt as to the
result. The outcome of the venture proved that his confidence had been
based on substantial grounds. The horses bred on his Texas ranch won
prizes wherever exhibited, and their growth, instead of a ceaseless expense,
became a source of profit. It was another proof of what can be accom-
plished by energy and ability, backed by self-confidence and tireless appli-
cation, but it was only one of many triumphs which have been won by Mr.
Sanborn through the possession of these valuable traits.
Everything he has attempted has been carried out to the letter and with-
out regard to expense. Of the different ranches, the one located in Gray-
son county received, perhaps, more of his attention and care than the rest,
and as a result it became one of the best appointed, thoroughly conducted,
and largest breeding establishments of its kind in the world. For the num-
ber, variety, class, and value of the stock handled, it would be impossible
to discover its duplicate. .

and in 1872 moved with his family to Somerville, where he has since
resided, except lor five years (iSS4-'S9), when he lived in Boston. The
present firm of Chase & Sanborn was formed in 1S78, and the greatest suc-
cess has attended them. i\t the World's Fair, Chicago, in 1S93, the firm
supplied the coffee for all the restaurants upon the grounds. Beside the
coffee business, Mr. Sanborn has, within a few years, given his attention to
the French coach horse, at his summer home, Poland, Me., where he has
a large establishment. In the summer of 1897, he became part owner and
manager of the Maine Farmer^ a weekly paper which has been published

of Dr. Benaiah Sanborn, an eminent physician held in high esteem in that
part of Xew Hampshire, and a lineal descendant of Daniel Sanborn, one of
the first settlers of the town. His early education was obtained at the dis-
trict school and village academy. Early in life he turned his thoughts to
medicine, the profession of his grandsire, who had often expressed the wish
that one ot his grandsons miiiht choose for his life-work his own callincr»
and in the spring of 1833 he entered the office of Dr. Thomas P. Hill, with
(■■:

whom he studied three months, and attended a course of lectures at Bruns-
wick, Me. The succeeding five or six years were devoted to other alTairs,
but in 1839 ^^^ resumed his medical studies under the direction of his
brother-in-law, Dr. \V. H. Ilosmer of New London, with whom he
remained two years, in the meantime attending two courses of lectures
at the Dartmouth Medical College. He was subsequently, for some
time, under the patronage and instruction of Dr. Gilman Kimball of
Lowell, Mass.
He received his medical degree from Dartmouth in 1841, and commenced
the practice of medicine in Goshen, where he remained until August. 1S43,
when he moved to Newport. After settling in this town Dr. Sanborn
availed himself of lectures and hospital practice at Bellevue INIedical Insti-
tution in New York citv. A successful understanding and management of
the cases that came under his care, and his conspicuous skill as a surgeon,
won for him an extended and profitable patronage and a wide celebrity.
In view of greater proficiency in many of the details of his professional
work, Dr. Sanborn, in 1S53, crossed the Atlantic, and traveled extensively
in England, Scotland, France, and Belgium. Visiting their medical sciiools,
hospitals, and museums, he returned to his home and friends in Nev/port
with an increased intelligence professionally, for the benefit of his patrons ;
and that enlarged view of men and thought derived t'rom foreign travel.
Aside from his professional standing he was a public-spirited and leading
citizen of the town, which he twice represented (in 1857 and 1858; in ihe
state legislature. Dr. Sanborn took a decided stand in tavor ofthe union
of states, and manifested his patriotism in deeds as well as words. In 1S63
he was appointed Surgeon of the i6th regiment N. H. Volunteers, and
served with distinction in the 19th Army Corps in Louisiana. After his
return he was appointed L^. S. x\rmy Surgeon of this military department.
He was a member of the New Hamipshire Medical Association and the
Connecticut Medical Society. He was also Past Master ofthe Mount Ver-
non Lodge of Masons.
Dr. Sanborn was a thorough scholar, a man ofthe strictest integrity, and
possessed a remarkably kind and genial disposition. He sought no place
or preferment; the place and preferment sought him. His great experi-
ence, general reading, and good judgment made him a safe practitioner in
all departments of his profession. His life in Newport covered a period of
more than sixty years. His death occurred July 23, 1875.
Dr. Sanborn married November 14, 1844, Harriet, daughte.- of Hon.

ii. Dr. Thomas B., b. July ig. 1S52. His early education was obtained in the pub-
lic schools of Newport, at CoUiy Academy, New London, and Dartmouth
College. After leaving college he began the study of medicine with his father,
taking his first course of lectures at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me. The
remainder of his medical studies were pursued at Bellevue Hospital Medical
College, New York, from which place he was graduated in 1876. The follow-
ing year he took post-graduate instruction at Bellevue and other New \ ork
hospitals, after whicli he took up his father's practice at Newport, which he
continued to the time of his death. His practice was very extensive, and his
skill, especiallv as a surgeon, unquestioned. He was a member of the New
Hampshire Medical Society, and of the American Medical Association, Secre-
tary of the Board of Health and of the United States Pension Examiners, and
a director in the Citizens' National Bank. During a very close campaign he
was induced, much against his desire, to run as Republican candidate for Rep-
resentative, the plea being that he seemed to be the only man popular enough
to carry the ticket. He was elected by a handsome majority. Dr. Sanborn's
business became so extensive that in 18S2 he extended a partnership to his
brother, Dr. C. A. Sanborn, the latter having just graduated from Bellevue
Hospital Medical College. This partnership continued until the health of his
brother compelled him to seek a warmer climate, he going to Redlands, Cal..
where he has since remained. Dr. Sanborn made his home with his mother
and sister, it being his great desire to make the advancing years of his mother
as happy as possible. It was his cheerful disposition which threw about this
household that charm which can only come where love and Christian fellowship
dwell. The sudden death of Dr. Sanborn from appendicitis, June 30, 1S94,
was especially sad, and cast a gloom over the community never before known.
His kind and genial disposition, together with a perfect physical development
and cheerful face, endeared him to a large proportion of the people with whom
he came in contact, and made him respected even by those who did not
'' employ him professionally.
iv. Dr. Christopher Allen, b. Newport, April 5, 1855 ; received his preliminary edu-

medical department of Bowdoin University and at Bellevue Hospital Medical
College in New York city. Graduating from the latter in 1SS2, he took a
complete course in the New York Post-graduate .Medical School, and in 1S94.
took a second special course, and, in 1S97, a third course at the same institu-
tion. Until 1 888 Dr. Sanborn was engaged in practice at Newport, and in
that year he went to Redlands, Cal., where he has been actively employed in
his profession ever since. He served for two years as Secretary of the first

Mass. The third year of his medical education was passed under the tui-
tion of Dr. Chas. H. Stedman, city physician of the city institutions at
South Boston, where he speedily advanced to a position of great respon-
sibility and trust, but, looking for a broader field of action, he placed him-
s'elf immediately under the instruction of Dr. Alonzo Clark, the distinguished
Professor of Patholoffical Anatomv in the College of Phvsicians and Sur-
geons of New York City. At the close of his studies in New York he re-
turned to Lowell and immediately entered upon the practice of his profes-
sion. In 1853 he received the appointment of Protessor of Pathological

land, Vt. In 1858 he was called to the chair of Surgery in Castleton
Medical College.
As a lecturer and writer Dr. Sanborn possessed marked ability, and con-
tributed many valuable articles on medical topics to the iournals of his pro-
fession. He was a frequent contributor to the columns of the Boston
Medical and Surgical yournal and the American journal of Medical
Sciences.

mont Volunteers, and was ordered to Newport News as post-surgeon : he

566 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
1811. John (1165) Sanhorn was born Dec. 12, 1823, in Peirysburg,
N. Y. When about two years of age his parents moved to Rochester,
N. Y., where his early youth was spent. He received a good common
school education, and was trained to habits of thrit"t and industry.
When old enough to start out on his own resources, he opened some kilns
for burning lime. He prospered in this, and soon afterward acquired inter-
ests in canal-boats. When the news of the discovery of gold in California
was received lie had accumulated several thousand dollars. He thereupon
sold out his interests and started to cross the plains in the fall of 1849, but
on account ot some mistake made in remitting his money, he was compelled
to return to Rochester, where he spent the winter.
In the fall of the next year he again turned toward the Pacific slope, and
going via the Istlimus of Panama, arrived in San Francisco in the spring
of 1851, and immediately proceeded to the mines in company Vvith eleven
other young men from the Eastern states. The party settled at Jamestown
in Tuolumne county, and afterwards went to Red Mountain Bar where they
took up placer claims. Here he started a general merchandise store, and
bought a ditch from which he supplied the mines with water. He also,
from time to time, acquired interests in mming claims.
The camp was not especially rich, and was almost depopulated by the
Fraser River excitement. All the men who had settled with him sold out
their interests to him, and left for that section. He worked the claims
alone for about a year, practically without returns.
In 1859, when nearly disheartened, he struck a rich pocket which
panned out almost two hundred thousand dollars. He remembered his
relatives with a liberal hand, and grave larcreiv to charities. He then Dur-
chased other claims, developed toll-roads, bridges, and terries, and invested
in business enterprises in San Francisco, where he took up his residence in
1868, and conducted two United States bonded warehouses, which he had
purchased four years earlier.
In 1870 he married Elizabeth Brodigan, daughter of Terence Brodigan,
a prominent pioneer of Tuolumne county. Seven years later he retired
from active life, and moved to Fruit\-ale, where he had erected a handsome
country residence. He died in September, 1S88.
It is said that it is prosperity, and not adversity, tiiat really tries a man.
Fortune was kind to John Sanborn, yet he never ceased to be kind and
considerate of the welfare of others. He was a man of remarkably fine
appearance. Tall of stature, and possessed of a tremendous physical
development, in manner he was refined and gentle as a child.

He possessed some ol" the Sanborn characteristics in a marked degree.
Throughout his entire Hie he was temperate in everything. Simplicity,
integrity, modesty, and generosity were his strongest traits and made tor
him many life-long friends.

ing college, he taught a short time the Grammar School at South Hing-
ham. Mass., and subsequently became the Principal of the Cradock School
at Medford, Mass., and in 1S6S assumed the duties of Principal of the Gram-
mar School in Winchester, !Mass.
In 1872, he organized the Hingham High School, and to date (1899) has
been its only Principal. The twenty-fifth anniversary of his services was
tittingly observed by a reception and presentation, tendered by the alumni.
The school committee of Hingham in their annual report of 1896, remark :
"At this time we cannot forget the noble, high-principled, cultured man
who during all this time has stood at the helm, and tlirough all the vicissi-
tudes and change of officers and crew, of cargo and ballast, guided the ship
in its ever onward course. Jacob O. Sanborn is a name that, in Hingham
at least, one might conjure with. He came to us on tlie establishment of
the school in 1S72 as its principal. He is with us and the school to-day,
its loved and honored head, and we but voice the feelings of the citizens ot
Hinrrham when we sav that to him more than to anv other beloncfs the
praise for whatever our High School has accomplished. His character and
influence have always been for high, pure citizenship. To him the town
owes, and ever will owe, a great debt. Every scholar who has ever passed
from under his teaching has felt the lofty purpose of his life, the gentle, yet
firm, guidance of his mind."
He has frequently been an officer in the Plymouth County and the Mas-
sachusetts State Teachers' Association, and read papers on educational
topics. For several years he has been the president of the Board ot Trus-
tees of the Hingham Public Library, and a deacon in the Evangelical
Congregational church of Hingham. In politics he has always been a
Republican.

play the indomitable pluck and energy that had become theirs by inherit-
ance. , At iNIihvaukee he secured employment as a brakeman on the Mil-
waukee & Mississippi Railroad. He was soon made passenger conductor,
serving in that capacitv until that railroad became part of the present sys-
tem of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. October 2, 1859, he
was married to Miss Eliza E. Richards, at Monroe, Wis., born April 19.
1832. In 1868, he was made Assistant Superintendent of the Northern
Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, where he served
until 1870, when he was promoted to Superintendent of the Iowa and
Dakota division of the Chicacro, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, when they
were buildino- and reachintr out to occupv Northern Iowa, Dakota, and
Nebraska. He remained with that line until completed to Yankton, Spring-
field, Running Water, Chamberlain, and Sioux Falls, becoming, as it were,
woven into the warp and woof in the development of those states. He was
a prime factor in their development, no sacrifice being too great for him to
make to turther the interests of the company and settlers, taking the broad
ground that their interests were identical : that one could not suffer loss
without the other being affected. In 1SS5, impaired health warned him
that he must cease from such onerous labors, so during that year he re-
signed, and rested until 1SS7, when he was offered the superintendency of
the Southern California Railroad, which he accepted, and served with tliat
company for two vears. In 18S9, he returned to Iowa, near Mason City.
one of the garden spots of that lovely state, where he still lives, surrounded
by all the comforts of an ideal home.

1900. Thomas Parker (1313) Sanborn, born in Concord, Mass.,
Feb. 23, 1S65. He was born in the cottage next to and a part of the estate
of the famous " Old Manse,"' written of by Hawthorne, and from whose
windows the Rev. Ezra Ripley saw Concord Fight, on the historic 19th of
April, 1776. His school education began in Springfield, but was seriouslv
undertaken onl}^ after the return to Concord in 187?, where he studied in
the primary schools ;ind was taught Latin and Greek by his father. He
was a sensitive and original child, much noticed by his elders, especiallv
by iSlr. Emerson and Ellery Channing, — going to walk with the latter and
with his father, as soon as he was able to keep up with older persons, in
the wood-roads and pastures of Concord, — their custom on Sunday after-
noons for many years.
His interest in Nature and his poetic -eye for the rural beauties of the
various seasons were noticeable from early childhood, and appear grace-
fully expressed in such of his serious verses as have been published here
and there by himself, or by his father since his death. His love of books
was equally marked, and thus he seemed designed and equipped for a lit-
erary career. He studied at home with his father and brother, and in the »
excellent town schools, graduating from the High School with distinction
and entering Harvard College in 1S82, al'ter a year at Exeter, at the age of
seventeen.
He took no high rank in college, but devoted himself largely to reading
and j'ournalism, having for special companions in his large class those
youths who have since been prominent in literature and were then active
in the satirical and critical journalism of the students. He was one of the
editors of iho. Lampoon and \.he Adz-ocate (of the latter, his uncle Joseph
was one of the founders), and wrote constantly for such publications in his
Junior and Senior years. After graduating in 1886, he joined the staff of
the Springfield Republican, with which his tather had long been connected.

and was qualifying himself by various forms of journalistic work for more
extended usefulness as editor elsewhere, when, in iS88, it was found need-
ful for him to give up his position and return home to Concord, his health
being seriously affected.
! In this brilliant and sensitive youth an inherited delicacy of constitution
combined with a retined and poetic disposition to render him unfitted for
contact with the world. Soon at'ter his return home, confirmed melancholia
caused his family serious alarm, but they were unprepared for the fearful
shock caused by his suicide in ^March, 18S9. Their deep grief was shared
b}' the many friends his affectionate disposition had made, at home, in col-
lege, and in his too brief journalistic life.
No collection of his writings has been published, but it is the wish of his
father to include the select verse of this son, with such of his own as may
be thought worthy of preservation, in a volume. He is buried in the
pleasant Concord Cemetery, and above his grave a tablet of Pentelic
marble, chiseled and carved in Athens, with its emblems of aspiration and
genius, recalls his memory in a line of Greek verse, copied from an antique
tomb in Thebes.
1901. Victor Channing (1313) Sanborn, born in Concord, Mass.,
April 24, 1867. Went through the common schools of Concord, graduat-
ing at the High School at the age of sixteen. On account of delicate
health, he spent a year at home, intending to enter Harvard, for the exam-
inations to which he was studying. In 1885 went with his father to Cornell
jUniversity, and took a term there as an unmatriculated student.
i Returning to Concord in the summer of 1885, he desired to enter upon a
■business life, and on Jan. i, 1886, he began office work in Omaha, Neb.,
for the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad, under the Auditor of Freight
and Passentrer Accounts. After a few months in that office, he was pro-
moted to the passenger department, and for two years served as secretary to
Mr. P. S. Eustis, General Passenger Agent. In 18SS Mr. Eustis was moved
to Chicago, in charge of the passenger department of the parent road, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and took V. C. S. with him as
his secretary. After two years here, he was promoted to Assistant Chief
Clerk, and for two years acted as Chief Clerk. On Jan. i, 1898, he left the
railroad service, and eno-an-ed in the real estate and renting business in
Chicago, under the auspices of the well known attorneys and estate agents,
".Messrs. Burley & McSurely.

born is a granddaughter of Mrs. Caroline Kirkland, the distinguished
New York liltcratcnr^ and is also a descendant of Gov. William Bradford,
the father of Ph'mouth colony, and on another line, of tiie Tory poet and
Loyalist, Joseph Stansbury of Philadelphia.
On his mother's side V. C. S. is descended from the Roxbury Williamses,
and from the Ilolbrooks of Weymouth and the Tilestons of Dorche>ter.
His maternal great-grandfather was Samuel Yendell, the sturdy seaman
and ship-carpenter, who served as a boy in the Revolution on the frigate
Tartar^ and later voyaged with " Billy Gray's" expedition to the mouth of
the Columbia river. His great-grandfather was Mr. Samuel Holbrook.the
Boston schoolmaster and friend of Governor Hancock, a brother of Abiah
Holbrook, the writing-master who left to Harvard College the specimen of
"knot-work" still amono- their curiosities, and who is buried in Granary
Burying-Ground in Boston. Through the Williamses V. C. S. is descended
from the Mays, Parks, and Brewers, and is connected with the Sigourneys.
He inherited from his father a fondness for genealogy, which these ante-
cedents stimulated, and at the age of seventeen had searched the Hampton
and Exeter records, and laid the foundations for his part of the present
volume. Ever since then, he has gradually accumulated material, and in
1885 published the first accurate account of the English Sambornes. In
1895 he was so tbrtunate as to pursue his English investigations in that
country, and presented the results in "The American and English Sam-
bornes," which was printed in the Granite Monthly and reprinted in
pamphlet form. He is an enthusiastic member of the New England His-
torical and Genealogical Society, and of the Illinois chapter of the Sons ot
the American Revolution.

; work. Returning home, he walked to Exeter, N. H., sixty miles, to
resume his studies. He told the principal of Phillips Academv there that

• work. Pleased with the boy's earnestness, the principal entered him as a
student, and Noah worked his way through as he had done at Parsonsfield.

State Board of Agriculture, and Secretary of the Kansas City Fat Stock
Show.
He accepted the presidency of tlie Utah College of Agriculture in 1S89,
then unorganized, and during the first three years made a growth unex-
ampled in the history of agricultural colleges of the country at a similar
age, securing 360 students in a sparsely settled community. In 1894 he
returned East to carry out long deferred improvements on his large farm
estate, accepting the editorship of the agricultural columns of the Mirror
and Farmer. During the tlrst four years of his occupancy of his farm the
crops increased threefold. He now owns and occupies the farm originally
owned by his great-great-grandfather, Humphrey Wilson, an original pro-
prietor of the town granted in 1727. Each succeeding owner has added to
the estate till it now contains nearly eight hundred acres, more than one
half of which is good field and tillage land, lying together conveniently and
conspicuously situated upon an elevated ridge. For use with the farm he
has about an equal amount of outlying wood and pasture land.

on Sanborn's Hill in Epsom, N. H., Oct. 19, 1S45. The ancestral farm on

and 1774. Ji-idge Sanborn's great-grandtather, Thomas Davis, served
under Prescott at Bunker Hill, participated in the Battle at White Plains,
was one of the Colonial armv which compelled and witnessed the surrender
of Burgoyne, continued his service until the close of the war, and was one
'of the soldiers present whom Webster addressed as "venerable men" at
!the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument in 1825. Hon.
jjosiah Sanborn, the son of Eliphalet, was elected a member of the New
(Hampshire State Senate for three terms, a member of the House of Repre-
i sentatives of that state for ein-ht terms, and a selectman of his native town
! for twentv years. Hon. Henrv F. Sanborn, the father of the Judge, entered
[Dartmouth College, but tailing health compelled him to abandon a protes-
i sional career, and he returned to the farm. When the State Senate of New
j Hampshire was composed of but twelve members, he was elected to that
I body (1S66), and was reelected in 1867. He was elected a member of the
I House of Representatives of that state in 1855, and a selectman of his native
j town for six years.
In his boyhood. Judge Sanborn worked on his father's farm in New
! Hampshire, and fitted himself for Dartmouth College by attending the
I academies and high schools in his vicinitv. When sixteen vears of age he
j began to teach school to obtain money to pay for his education. He
entered Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, in 1S63, taught school during
j each winter of his college course, was chosen in 1866 by all the students of
\ the college one of two participants 'in the annual college debate, led his
class for the four years of the course and was graduated with the highest
honors as its valedictorian, in June, 1867. In February of that year he had
become the principal of the High School at Miltord, N. H., and he held
this position until February, 1S70, when he declined a proffered increase of
salary, resigned his position, and went to St. Paul, Minn., where he was
admitted to*the Bar in the Supreme Court of that state in February, 187 1.
Dartmouth College conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. on June 19,
1893. He had before received from this college the degrees of A. B. and
A. M.
On the 1st day of May, 1S71, he formed a partnership for the practice of
law with Gen. John B. Sanborn, under the name of John B. and W. H.
Sanborn, and continued to practise law as a member of that firm until Feb.

one of tlie counsel for tlie defense in tlie famous impeachment trial of Judge
E. St. Julien Cox before the Senate of the State of Minnesota. In 1S89, he
discovered the tact that the law under which the city attorne}', Hon. Wil-
liam P. Murray, was elected was unconstitutional, caused the city council
to meet and elect Hon. O. E. Holman, corporation attorney, and then con-

Act" of the Minnesota Legislature of 1SS9, and when the tirst arrest for its
violation was made he obtained a writ of habeas corpus t'rom the L nited
States Circuit Court, and in that court and in the United States Supreme
court sustained his position that the law was in violation of the commercial
clause of the Constitution and void. (/;/ ;r Barber, 39 Federal Reporter 41 :
Alinnesota v. Barber, 136 U. S. 313.)
In 1885 he was elected Treasurer of the State Bar Association of St. Paul,
and in 1SS9 he was selected bv the attorneys of the city by ballot as one of
four candidates from whom the Governor should select two district judges
for the County of Ramsey, but he was not chosen by the Governor. In
1890 he was elected President of the St. Paul Bar Association.
In Freemasonry he was respected and honored. In 1886, 1S87, and
1888 he was elected and reelected Eminent Commander of Damascus Com-
mandery, No. i, of St. Paul, the oldest organization of Knights Templar in
the state and one of the strongest and most tamous in the country. In 1889
he was elected Grand Commander of the Knights Templar of the state of
Minnesota, and in the great parade at Washington at the Triennial Conclave
in October of that year, he was Marshal of the nth Division and organized
and led the Templars often states.
In the municipal affairs of the city of St. Paul he played no unimportant
part. In 187S he was elected a member of the City Council of St. Paul, and
was then its youngest member. In 18S0 he removed his residence trom
the ward which he then represented to St. Anthony Hill, and in 18S5 he
was again elected a member of the City Council Irom that district, which
was the wealthiest aud most influential in the city. From that time until
his elevation to the bench, he remained a member of the council and only
resigned his position to enter upon the discharge of his duties as Circuit
ludffe. DurincT his service in the Citv Council, he was elected its \ ice-

Railway Company had made contracts with the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway Company and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
Company, by which it leased to each ot" these companies for the term of 999
years the joint and equal possession and use of its tracks over its bridge
across the Missouri river at Omaha. After these contracts were partially
executed, the Union Pacific Companv refused to perform and undertook to
repudiate them. The Rock Island Company and the St. Paul Company
brought suits and obtained decrees for their specitic performance. The
Union Pacific Company appealed from these decrees, and insisted that the
contracts were ultra vires of the Pacific Company, that the specific per-
formance thereof could not be enforced in equity because the acts to be per-
formed under them were so numerous and complicated and because the
contracts were unt"air.
The opinion of Judge Sanborn was exhaustive, but so clear, vigorous,
and convincing that it challenged the attention of the bar and placed him
at once upon a high plane of superiority, from which he has steadily risen
as his work progressed. It opened with a concise statement of the limits
of the powers of corporations created under legislative grants. It then
reviewed the decisions of the Supreme Court upon the powers of such cor-
porations, and carefully analyzed -the contracts and demonstrated that it
was not beyond the ordinary powers of a railroad corporation to let to
another the use of its lines so long as it was not thereby disabled from the
full performance of its duties to the state and the public. The acts of con-
gress relative to the construction and use of railroad bridges over the great
rivers were examined and shown to have fairly empowered the Pacific
Company to make its contracts of lease.
Each of the questions presented in these cases was treated in the most
masterly manner. The decrees below were affirmed, and the opinion ot
Judge Sanborn has since been reviewed and affirmed by the Supreme
Court.
In Barnes v. Poirier, 27 U. S. App. 500, 12 C. C. A. 9, 64 Fed. 14.
Judge Sanborn delivered an opinion on the assignability of additional home-
steads, which was quoted with approval bv the Supreme Court in Webster v,
Luther, 16 Sup. Ct. Rep. 963-966, and which seems to have settled that
question. In this opinion is shown the disposition of the Judge to avoid the
pitfall of technicalities, and to give to the law the breadth of construction
necessary to the accomplishment of the original intention.
It would seem that the multitude of cases and decisions involving the law
of negligence would have exhausted all possibilities of novelty in facts and

interest in opinions, but in cases where Judge Sanborn has delivered opin-
ions upon this branch of the law, he has, by his careful statement of the
principles, his clear-cut discrimination in their application, and his free use
of the faculty of common, sense, created new leading cases. Examples ot
these are: ilnion Pacifc Railway Co. v. Jarvi\ lo U. S. App. 439, 53
Fed. 65, involving the questions of defective appliances and contributory
negligence; Bohn Mfg. Co. v. Erickson, 12 U. S. App. 260, 55 Fed. 943,
which discusses with remarkable clearness the question of latent danger ;
Ozven V. Ilarlcy, 12 U. S. App. 574, 56 Fed. 973, which treats of nearly
every question likely to arise in a case of personal injury occurring to an
employe in his employment: What Cheer Coal Co. v. Johnson, 12 L. S.
App. 490, 56 Fed. Sio, upon the question of vice-principal, and the distinc-
tions to be made by reason of extent or grade of authority ; City 0/ Minne-
apolis v. Lundin, 7 C C A. 344, 58 Fed. 525, which is a very strong case
on the doctrine of "fellow servant" and the application thereof to conditions
arising from the performance of work by a municipality through its official
servants ; and Chicago, St. Panl, etc., Ry. Co. v. Elliott, 12 U. S- App. 381,
in which Judge Sanborn defines "proximate cause," as understood in law,
states the rules for its discovery and the reason for these rules, and illumines
the entire subject with clearness of statement and wealth of illustration.
Questions arising upon municipal bonds have been much before the court,
and Judge Sanborn has written many opinions in these cases. In Xational
Life Insurance Co. v. Board of Education of the City of Huron, 27 U. S.
App. 244, his opinion contains the most exhaustive review of the authori-
ties upon the effect of the usual recitals in such bonds, and the most con-
cise and complete statement of the established rules for their construction to
be found in the books. The opinion is, in fact, a most thorough and satis-
factory treatise on the subject, and outside of its purpose as a decision in
the case, will be of the greatest value to the bar and investors in municipal
securities.
The leading case under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, as it applies to traffic
contracts and transportation companies, is United States v. Trans-Missouri
Association, 19 U. S. App. 36. Certain railway companies entered into a
contract forming a freight association, agreeing to establish and maintain
such rates, rules, and regulations for freight traffic between competitive
points as a committee of their own choosing should deem reasonable, but
providing that the rates and rules so established should be public and be
subject to change at any monthly meeting upon notice, and that any mem-
ber might disregard the same and even withdraw from the association upon
,•( .•..[

notice. It appeared that the effect of the operation of the association had
been to diminish rather than to increase rates. In this case, Judge Sanborn
held that the contract was in accord with the policy of the Interstate Com-
merce Act as tending to make competition open and fair, and was not void,
in an opinion which contains a most complete citation and review of authori-
ties, and is undoubtedlv the most thorough discussion of the effect of the
Anti-Trust Act upon association contracts that has been delivered by the
courts. This decision was subsequently reversed b}- the Supreme Court by
a vote of five to four, but a majority of the judges to whom the question was
presented in the course of the litigation, from its inception to its close,
agreed with Judge Sanborn.
The character and effect of the decisions and conveyances of the Land
Department of the United States have probably never been so carefully con-
sidered, or so clearly stated, as in Judge Sanborn's opinion in Uuited Stales
V. Winona d- St. Peter R)\ Co., 15 C. C. A. 96.
His opinion in Minneapolis v. Reuni., 12 U. S. App. 446-481, has proba-
bly awakened m.ore interest and created more public comment than has any
other case in the court. The point involved was the exclusive right and
power of Congress, under the Constitution, to fix the rules and requirements
upon which a foreign subject may become a citizen of the United States, or
of a state.

2174. MosES Lendsley (1637) Sanborn, was born in Baldwin, Cum-
berland county. Me., Sept. 30, 1858. After attending the town schools in
Denmark, Me., at the age of fourteen he entered the Fryeburg (Me.)
Academy ; the same year he taught his tirst school in Denmark. He pur-
sued his studies at Frveburg for four terms, and then entered the Bridg-
ton (Me.) High School, from which he graduated first in the class of 1878.
Entering Bowdoin College in July of the latter vear, he remained there for
three years, and then, on account of ill health, transl'erred to Dartmouth
College, where he entered the Senior class and graduated in 1882, and
received his decrree of A. B., and three vears later the degree of A. M.
Following graduation he taught High school for three years — one year in
Vermont, one year in Massachusetts, and one year in Maine. Subse-

quently he read law with ?vIattocks. Coombs & Neal in Portland, Me., and
was admitted to the Cumberland Bar in Portland, May 20, 1SS6. He then
moved to Boston, Mass., and was admitted to the Suffolk Bar, July 20,
1886.
Since the latter date Mr. Sanborn has practised his profession in Boston,
where he has established a large and lucrative law business. In November,
1892, he defended a client who was arrested for violating the Game Law of
Massachusetts, and he raised a point of law as to the effect of the legis-
lature repealing a certain section of the act, passing a law in its place in
order to change the' period of close time, and he claimed that this neces-
sarily repealed the whole Game Law of Massachusetts, as all the other sec-
tions in the act depended upon it, and as that particular section had been
repealed and not substituted for it. He was sustained, and Massachusetts
was without a Game Law until the next legislature convened. In August,
1893, he defended and won the suit brought against E. \V. Walker & Co.,
by Emily A. Corliss, widow of George H. Corliss, the great inventor,
which settled the right of publishers and others to publish portraits and
biographical sketches of public men.
Mr. Sanborn is a Republican in political principles, and was a member
of the convention at Lewiston in 1886 that nominated Joseph R. Bodwell
for Governor of Maine. In 1880 he took the census of Denmark, Me.,
under Gen. Francis A. Walker. He is a member of Hugh de Payens
Commandery, Knights Templar of Melrose, Mass. He now resides in
Boston. While in Dartmouth College he was a member of the Theta Delta
Chi fraternity. He was married Sept. 16, 1896, to H. Bertha Falconer of
Boston.

-- No further record occurs concerning this matter, and it is left in
doubt for whom John Samborne was acting. Apparently he had some
interest in the first Hampton mill. I^Ir. William B. Trask of Boston,
who is publishing some notes on his family, writes me : " Capt. Wil-
liam Trask, one of the ' Old Planters' of Salem, may have come over
in 1628. He was probably born in Somersetshire about 1587. He
was a captain in the Pequod war in 1637 ; was an original member of

the First church in Salem; was one of the first freemen in 1630, and
served many years as Deputy to the General Court. In 1636 he built
a water-mill in Salem for grinding corn ; four years after, a tide-mill ;
and in 1640 also, says Felt, a fulling-mill, not far from his corn-mill."
It. is wortii noting also that Trask came from Somersetshire, probably
from East Coker, a parish in the Southern part of the county, near
Maiden Newton, Dorset, where the Sambornes were settled.

pointed by President .McKinley on the Examining Board in tlie Investigation
of the War Department. In 1855 he entered Dartmouth College, and gradu-
ated in July, 1S59. Twenty-five years later the college conferred upon him the
degree of LL. D. Attending medical lectures at the Medical College of Ohio,
and at Jefferson Medical College, he received the degree of M. D. from the lat-
ter institution in March, 1861. In 1861 he was assigned to duty at Columbian
Hospital, Washington, being commissioned Assistant Surgeon United States
army in April, 1862. In August, 1866, he resigned, having been brevetted
Captain and Major for " faithful and meritorious services during the war." Set-
tling in Cincinnati, he was appointed Professor of Surgery in the Cincinnati
College of .Medicine, and later Professor of Chemistry in the Medical College of
Ohio. In 18S7 he was transferred to the chair of surgery. In 1878 he was
made Professor of Surgery in Dartmouth Medical School.
(ii) Hon. John Sanborn Conner, a distinguished jurist and lawyer of Cin-
cinnati, the second son of Dr Phineas Sanborn Conner and Eliza Sanborn,
was b. at Cincinnati, June 30, 1S44. His father was the son of Gideon Conner
of Newburyport, Mass., and Hannah Sanborn of Kingston, N. H. His mother
was the daughter of Phineas Sanborn of Kingston, X. H., and Keziah Pritchard
of Camden county, N. C. .Mr. Conner's boyhood was spent principally in Cin-
cinnati, he receiving his education in the public schools of that city. In 1861
he went East to prepare for college, going in the fall of that year to the Cale-
donia County Grammar school at Peacham, Vt., where he remained until Feb-
ruary, 1862, when he entered Dartmouth College, and graduated in 1865. In
the fall of that year, he went to his mother's old home in North Carolina, to
look after the family property there that had been in the line of the contending
armies. Returning to Cincinnati, in January, 1S66, he entered the office ot
Gen. Edward F. Xoyes, the solicitor of the city, and began the study of law.
Graduating from the Cincinnati Law School in May, 1868, he immediately
began the practice of his profession, as clerk and title examiner in the solici-
tor's office, and in April, 1S69, was appointed First Assistant Solicitor of the
city, and held that position for four years. Going into private practice in 1873,
he continued therein until the fall of iSSi, when he was elected one of the
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, O., and took his seat
in February, 18S2. After serving the judicial term of five years, he resumed
private practice in Cincinnati, and has been actively engaged therein ever since.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WAY OF LIFE,
1 800- 1 860.
BY F. B. SANBORN, (1313) OF CONCORD, MASS.
New Hampshire was once all one county, and that county but four towns — Ports-
mouth, Dover, Exeter, and Hampton. The first became its chief seaport, and the
capital of the province which Charles H created in 16S0, as a sort of counterpoise
to the Calvinistic colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut. At the Revolution,
when the Wentworth family, the most important in the province for fifty years, were
in part royalists and lost their control, Exeter, near which lived Meshech Weare, the
first ruler of the independent state, became the capital, and for twenty years divided
with Portsmouth the honors of the seat of government. During the regime of the
Wentworths, the colonization of the inland towns had gone on actively, and five
counties (since increased to ten), included the whole present state, — Rockingham,
Strafford, Plillsborough, Cheshire, and Grafton, — names borrowed from the titles of
powerful English nobles, friends or patrons of the New Hampshire Wentworths, a
race claiming alliance with the ancient families of Wentworth and Fitzwilliam in the
mother-country. This division continued until 1803, when "the Upper Cohos " was
organized as a county under its Indian name of Coos; in 1833, Merrimack county
was separated from Rockingham and Hillsborough, and, in 1827, Sullivan, named
for the Revolutionary general, was taken from Cheshire county. The other two
counties, Belknap (named for the historian of the state), and Carroll (for the last
surviving signer of the Declaration), were created in 1840, mainly from the lake and
mountain region of northern Strafford.
Thus two centuries intervened between the colonization of maritime, or tidewater.
New Hampshire, and the extreme woodland parts of the state ; and all this time
(from 1640 to 1840), the way of life of New Hampshire's sons and daughters was as
varied as the difference between the planters of Plymouth and tidewater Viririnia,
and the backwoodsmen of Kentucky or the flatboatmen of the Mississippi, a differ-
ence expressing itself in education, dress, industries, religion, and all that goes to
make up civilization, except race peculiarities. Nor were the characteristics of dis-
tinct races wanting when this century began. The early settlers on the seacoast had
been Englishmen, but from provinces as remote as Cornwall and Yorkshire; while in
the early eighteenth century there came over from Irish Ulster a colony of those
hardy fighters who held Derry in the wars of King William against partisans of the
deposed King James. Survivors and children of the besieged, who in the song say:

were in the band of immigrants, who. in April, 17 19. thirty years after the sieg^e of
Londonderry in Ireland, founded the New Hampshire town of Londonderry ; and
from that band and their Scotch and Irish kinsmen, who came over from year to year
to join them, many of the Inland towns were peopled. The Starks. the Smiths, the
Dinsmores, Morisons, Nesmiths, and many more names of distinction in the annals
of New Hampshire, trace back to this Scotch-Irish immigration, afterwards reen-
forced by Sullivans, from Berwick in Maine ; the White Mountain Crawfords from
Connecticut, and fugitive Jacobites from Scotland, like the great-grandfather of Col.
James Montgomery, a partisan commander in Kansas and South Carolina, in our
Civil War. There had been an earlier connection with Protestant Ireland through
the commerce carried on from the New Hampshire seacoast ; and the Towles of
Rockingham county are descended from a seaman, Philip Towle of Hampton, tradi-
tionally called an Irishman, and giving the name ''Ireland" to the neighborhood
where he settled, just as the town of Dublin, under Monadnock, took its name from
the many Scotch-Irish originally settled there.
Each race brought its traditions, dialect, and customs to the new countr}-, where
they long survived, and were perceptible at the opening of this century. In Derry
and Londonderry wakes were still had for the dead, in Protestant houses, and Gov-
ernor Plumer, visiting there more than a century ago, described one at which he
assisted. Ulster colonists introduced the Irish potato, and gave greater vogue to the
flax wheel, and the weaving of linen in each country household. From 1800 to 1845,
at least, there was spinning and weaving of fla.x and wool in every rural town ;
though flax culture gradually went out after 1820. The garret of every farmhouse
that I visited as a boy before 1850, contained disused flax wheels, and in the sheds
and toolhouses I still saw the branks and hetchels for beating and hetchelling flax;
while a single flax-field of Deacon Green, the neighborhood tailor, pleased my eyes
with its blue flowers, as I passed by to the Exeter-Road school ; where the same
schoolmaster in winter taught the primer class a-b, ab, and gave me the Latin and
Greek declensions. My school suit was made up by this tailor, — or at least cut by
him, if made by the house-visiting ''tailoress," who lived opposite, but from wool
that my father had clipped from his own sheep, fed by me in v.inter, and washed in
the mill-race of the " Old Mill." between Hampton and Hampton Falls in June.
where Taylor's River makes the boundary between the two towns. This wool had
been carded at the clothing-mill, to which it was carried in great bundles wrapped in
old linen sheets, and pinned with thorns from the white ihornbush in the pasture;
then brought home and spun by my aunts, and woven by them or my mother, whose
loom stood for a half-century in the ••back-chamber : ■' then taken to the "fulling-mill."'
to be dyed and fulled, and finally brought back, and made up into jacket and trousers
for the boys, of a rich, logwood brown, and as warm as Irish frieze.

and the Wentworths and their connections maintained an offshoot of the Church of
England in Portsmouth, as the royal governors and others did in Boston. But the
influences of a new country, especially where the settlers were chiefly from the yeo-
manry and tradesmen of England and Northern Ireland, as in New Hampshire, soon
brought about a virtual democracy, and one by no means ready to be ruled despot-
ically, in the name of any sovereign, whether hereditary or elective. They gave the
Massachusetts bigots more or less trouble in religious matters before 1660; met fear-
lessly the claims of Englishmen, who pretended a title to lands they had never seen ;
were not too submissive to their own elected magistrates; and the Calvinistic clergy
who generally ministered to them, up to 1800, did not find their flocks so manage-
able as they could wish.
After that date, the subdivision into sects went on rapidly. The Baptists first,
then the Universalists, Methodists, and finally the Unitarians came in to divide the
Trinitarian Congregationalists ; the Episcopalians increased as wealth became more
abundant ; and the Presbyterians had a certain share, from the Scotch inheritance of
so many of the people. But until about 1S20, each parish could assess and collect
taxes for the support of the Congregational worship, unless the dissenters belonged
to some organized church which the law recognized, and my maternal grandfather
was once arrested for his parish tax when he joined the Baptists and absented him-
self from the " Old Meeting-House '' near which I was born. He afterwards became
a Universalist, and that sect gathered quite a following in the little town, among the
scattered fragments of the old church membership ; though most of ihem afterward
joined the Unitarian society, whose lit-tle pillared temple took the place of the old
sanctuary about 1840. The town continued to use the old church for town-meetings,
until it was finally torn down, and I made spinning tops out of the cherr)- balus-
trades along the tops of the pews, ♦through which my earliest recollections found me
peeping in meeting-time.
Education, however, was always highly valued in New Hampshire, in spite of the
efforts of " Freewill " or " Christian " Baptists to dispense with a learned ministry,
and depend on the enthusiasm of preacher and layman for spiritual nourishment.
Almost every town in southern New Hampshire, in 1800, had a learned minister,
preaching to the majority of the people, attending to the catechising and comm.on
school education of children, and often promoting their higher education by estab-
lishing libraries, giving instruction in Latin, and encouraging the brighter boys to go
to the academy or the college. Much had been done for education in the whole
state by the establishment of Dartmouth College and Phillips Exeter Academy, late
in the eighteenth century, .and the latter was especially fortunate in its principal. Dr.
Benjamin Abbot, who educated the promising boys of New England for half a cen-
tury, within five miles of my birthplace. But for my own town more was done by a
retired president of Harvard College, Rev. Samuel Langdon, D. D., and by his suc-
cessor in the ministry, Rev. Jacob Abbot, a cousin of Dr. Abbot of Kxeter, — both
good scholars, of wide reading and public spirit, who, from 17S0 to 1S27 preached in

the little parish, and lived in the old parsonage near which I was born, and on the
site of which my brother now lives. Dr. Langdon, dying in 1797, gave his library to
the church for the use of the ministry, — an odd collection of Latin, Greek, and Eng-
lish books which have gradually been scattered; and Parson Abbot founded a
"Social Library" (owned in shares by his parishioners, and usually kept in the
parsonage), which lasted until my time, and was of much service to all the youth and
maidens, — as well as to the older folks, — of the community. Meanwhile, at the south-
ern end of the town the Baptists had established the "Rockingham Academy"
(a sectarian high school, but not specially sectarian), which drew together at the
small village a few men of learning, and many students desirous of learning; so that,
for a town of seven hundred people and small wealth. Hampton Falls was well
equipped with the means of education. Naturally, in such a community, the com-
mon schools were good ; often taught in the winter by college students, or young
men intended for ministers, — Francis Bowen, while in Harvard College, taught in
the " Red Schoolhouse " and boarded with Deacon Lane, Parson Abbot's near
neighbor, — and in summer by pleasing young women, daughters of some minister
doctor, or farmer, who had a gift for imparting 'knowledge without so much use of
the stick and ferule as the "masters "' thought needful.
What was true of my town was measurably true of other towns, — varying, of
course, with the circumstances of each. On the very coast — we were a few miles
inland — many were sailors and fishermen, leading a more precarious life, and more
exposed to temptation than the quiet farming class — drinking more New England
rum, that plague of the years before 1S40 — and of a laxer moral fibre generally. In
Hampton and Seabrook intemperance was far more common than with us; in
North Hampton, now so prosperous with its summer boarders. Parson French used to
Sj^y that, when he came there in 1801, and for years after, the population of six hun-
dred and fifty souls bought forty hogsheads in a year of rum, besides what a farmer,
returning from Portsmouth or Hampton, might put into his cellar by the barrel,
along with his hard cider. The forty hogsheads were dispensed over the counter of
one store, in jugs, kegs, and glasses; the storekeeper, meanwhile, giving his cus-
tomers a glass whenever they bought goods to any amount. In the edge of Straitord
county, at Barrington and its neighborhood, another class of tippling and shiftless
people lived — the Leatherses^ — described by Whitlier as " Yankee Zincali," and said
to be descended from a gypsy servant, brought over in early days by a Portsmouth
magnate. At any rate, these people, numbering hundreds in my boyhood, were
coal-burners, basket-makers, and periodic travelers, selling their great wagon-loads
of baskets along the roads as they went to Lowell, Salem, and Boston, begging and
sometimes stealing, sleeping in their wagons, and cooking their meals beside the
road, or in a clump of pasture trees (as I have often seen them) like the English
gypsies, many of whom now travel over New England in our summers. When shoe-
making, in connection with the large shops of Haverhill and Lynn, began to be a
common and profitable employment, from 1840 to 1S60, the strollers of Strafford and
6l8 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
the fishermen of Rockingham counties took to this trade and improved their eco-
nomic condition thereby; then intemperance abated and regions once famous for
drinking and fighting became sober and respectable. The Leathers family changed
their name to Freeman, Gray, and Walker by act of the legislature, and the old
stigma attaching to the patronymic passed away. The same was measurably true of
Seabrook, Byfield, and other places of ill repute, chiefly from intemperance. But a
great part of the change from drunkenness to sobriety in the state at large, was due
to the active efforts of temperance societies, between 1S25 and 1855. The Civil
War and the infiu.K of foreigners have given back the old habit of intemperance in
many towns, but not to the former extent nor with the old liquor — for whiskey has
superseded rum, and ale and beer have often supplanted cider.
To return to the topic of education, the prevalence of academies, endov.-ed or
sectarian high schools, while yet public high schools did not exist, was as marked
in New Hampshire as anywhere in New England. They were not usually of a high
grade, as was that in Exeter, but they v.ere cheap, they fitted young men and women
to "keep school," which was one of the great employments from seventeen years to
twenty-five, and they gave a preparation for college suitable to what was then the low
standard of college examinations all over New England. Many of these academies are
now absorbed in the village high schools, many have perished, yet a goodly number
still exist, and help on the cause of general education, so much more varied and
specialized than formerly. The introduction of railroads has made it easy to go to
school far from the pupil's home, and has lessened the relative importance of local
instruction in the higher studies. Consequently, the old-fashioned district school, in
which everything was taught to both sexes, from the alphabet upward, and in which
there might be pupils twenty years old, taught by a youth of fifteen, has well-nigh
disappeared. Its advantages were obvious ; for though the teacher might have forcy
pupils and thirty-five classes, to be taught in 340 minutes, at the rate of nine minutes
and eight seconds to a class, — yet the younger learned so much from hearing their
elders recite, that as much knowledge, irregularly gained, got into the heads of the
bright pupils as is more methodically insinuated into them now by the newer modes
of teaching, almost wholly by women.
The terms were formerly short, and arranged to meet the necessities of farm-labor,
in which most of the children, even the girls, took some part ; for women then " raked
after the cart" in haying time, and the girls weeded gardens, picked apples and pota-
toes, carried grain to mill, and, with their mothers, did much of the marketing, both
buying and selling. In berry time they picked raspberries, huckleberries, blueberries,
wild blackberries and barberries (the bushes of the latter were locally called •' pep-
peridge"); and the women of poorer families carried these about to the farmhouses
for sale, taking in payment provisions or clothing for their families, as did the
Barrington basket-making gypsies, in their semi-annual rounds. One of the latter,
.perhaps the " Hippin ' Pat" (a woman) of Whittier's sketch, used to ask at my
grandfather's door, " Haint ye got nerry nold jacket, nerry nold gaownd, nerry nold

The men of New Hampshire were a hard-working, often hard-drinking, and yet a
merry set, behind the mask of seriousness, which their Calvinistic religion imposed.
This sometimes generated a solemn religious enthusiasm, sending them on missions,
and giving them power to preach with great effectiveness in religious revivals. My
mother's cousin, Nancy Towie of Hampton, sister of Dr. Philip Towle (who died in
1832, at Charleston, S. C), and daughter of Col. Philip, was an e.xample of this
enthusiasm ; she was educated at the Academy and taught school for awhile, but
when, at the age of twenty-two, she became " converted " at a "revival," she put her
religious duties before all others, and soon began to preach, and 10 travel, like the
early Quaker women, whom Major Waldron had sent to be whipped through Hamp-
ton, in 1662, — though she was never a Quaker. Her preaching mission took her
through the United States, into the Eastern Provinces, and so to England and Ire-
land, where she held meetings in 1S29-30; making a journey of 15,000 miles, and
being absent from New Hampshire three and one half years. She then set forth
westward, and in 183 1 confronted Joe Smith, the Mormon apostle, in Ohio, where he
was deluding the people, and told him to his face what a humbug he was. She was
indeed a person of inherited courage, being descended from a celebrated Indian
fighter, Capt. Anthony Brackett, who was killed at Casco in 16S9. Her cousin,
Jonathan Leavitt, was an officer under Sullivan in his expedition against the Six
Nations, near Elmira, N. Y., and Leavitt's son, Lewis, was the hero of a nautical
adventure which his cousin used to relate. Lewis Leavitt was skipper of a coasting
vessel, and in the war with England was captured by a British frigate, which put
a prize crew on board, and sent her towards Halifax. Captain Leavitt watched his
opportunity, and at night, when only the man at the wheel and the watch were on
deck, he threw them successively down the hatchway, battered the hatches down,
took the wheel himself, and steered his vessel into Eastport, where he lived. This
Towle family, it may be noted, introduced great height and size wherever they inter-
married ; and one of them, a great-grandson of Anthony Brackett, attained, before
his death in 1822, the enormous weight of 515 pounds. This hero, who •' melted in
his carriage," as tradition hath it, was the grandson of a Towle who had nine sons,
thus memorized in the rude verse of the neighborhood.

And long-Ieg-ged Sam."
Their first American ancestor, if indeed an Irishman, must have been an Irish
giant. From his mother, Anne Towle, my great-uncle, John Sanborn, inherited this
gigantic size and strength; he lived into this century, and was the subject of many
anecdotes, illustrating his physical powers. He went in youth into the woodland
regions of Pittsfield and Canterbury, where the Shakers established themselves in
1782, and, with other young men, he sometimes made fun at the Shaker meetings
and dances. One night, when Uncle John had distinguished himself in this way, the
Shaker elders undertook to remove him from their sacred precincts by force. Four
of them laid hold of him, but he (six feet, four inches high) took hold of the beam
above the door, and their united strength could not start him. After tugging a spell,
they let him alone, saying " he was a great, big, lusty devil," whereupon the good-
natured giant withdrew of his own accord. I have seen his shoes ; they were big
enough for two ordinary feet. Yet, with all his strength, he was an invalid, and
before he was sixty he died, leaving only a daughter, who long lived alone after her
grandmother's death, in her large old house by Munt Hill, the ledge said to have
been the residence of an Indian chief, before the Sambornes took up the great farm,
a mile long, on one of the roads from Hampton to Exeter.
The farmers of New Hampshire had usually estates, in this century, from fifty to
five hundred acres — the ordinary size being, perhaps, one hundred acres — subject, as
they were, to division and subdivision upon the marriage of a daughter, or the settle-
ment of an estate after death. The labor on a farm of that size would usually be
done by the sons and grandsons of the owner; it was only on the larger ones that
continuous hired labor would be employed. In the house, the work was done by the
wife, daughters, and maiden aunts, who were apt to inherit a residence in the old
house, upon their father's death, and who were indispensable to the simple life of
the rural community, Theodore Parker used to quote an aunt, who said : " Mr.
Parker, the position of a maiden aunt is very important; without maiden aunts, the
world could not be peopled, sir." There was more in this odd remark than met the
ear; in the nursing and pupilage of New Hampshire children, the aunt bore a great
part. They were often monthly nurses ; they were usually tenders of other wom.en's
babies, and instructors of children as they grew older. Emerson's Aunt Mary bore
the chief pari in his education, and that of his brilliant brothers; being asked, once,
what he should have done without her, he said : "Ah, that would have been a loss, —
I could have better spared Greece and Rome."
I recall two maiden aunts, Dolly and Rachel who were typical New Hampshire
personages. The elder half-sister had been brought up. after her mother's early
death, by her grandmother, Anne Towle, who humored her and kept her in a narrow
domestic circle, from which courtship and marriage never emancipated her; she' had
the ways of the last century, just as she had its dishes and warming-pans and ideas
of costume. Never did she go farther from her relatives' houses than to the next
622 SANBORN GENEALOGY. r
town, from which her mother came; even Exeter (the " Suffield "' of Miss Alice
Brown) was almost unknown to her. She was purely domestic; had certain cooking
'•resaits," that had come down to her, and that nobody else could manage; sat in
her room or lay in her bed and knew the ownership of every horse that passed the
house, by his step. " I wonder where Major Godfrey was gwine this mornin' ; his
horse went down the Hampton road about half-past four." She watched the passers-
by with an interest hard for the young to understand ; the narrow limits of her exist-
ence developed curiosity to a microscopic degree. It was said of two sisters in
Kensington, the next town west, where Aunt Dolly's cousins, the Blakes, lived, that
one day the doctor or the butcher called at the door, and they were both in tears.
" Why! what's the matter, Aunty?" "Oh, they say a blue midge went by our house,
yesterday, and it was so foggy neither Mary nor I could see it!" This ancient jest
always made me think of Aunt Dolly; it was an exaggeration of her interest in the
passerby; the wayfarer, though a fool, as Scripture says, was not an indifferent
object to her. She would remind me, when I came in late at night, from some visit
or cooking-party in the woods, that "the clock struck two jest after you shet the door,
Frank ; " but she withheld these revelations from the head of the family, though you
would not have said that discretion was her strong point. She outlived her younger
sisters, and was a neighborhood oracle as to births, deaths, and marriages, without
ever leaving the fireside in her latest years.
Aunt Rachel was a very different person. Born five years later (17S9), and dying
many years earlier, she had a more sympathetic and attractive character. She was
fair and delicate of complexion, blue-eyed, with pleasing features, a sweet, rather sad,
voice, and she spent her later life, when alone I knew her, in caring for others. As
a child, she had been a favorite at Dr. Langdon's, who lived across a little common,
and died when she was but eight years old; but she continued to be intimate at the
parsonage, with the wife and children of Parson Abbot, the wife being the daughter
of Rev. E. Thayer of Hampton, and aunt of the wealthy Thayers of Boston, Nathaniel
and John. Mrs. Abbot was but ten years older than Aunt Rachel, and the children,
. of whom there were many, grew up under her eye, and were cared for by my aunt in
their earlier and after years, when she may be said to have been a professional nurse,
if such an occupation had then existed. She was skilled in all household arts, par-
ticularly in spinning, weaving, and gardening; had her bed of sage and lavender, her
flowers of the older sorts, introduced, I fancy, from the small garden of the parson-
age, where Dr. Langdon had planted apple trees that still bear, after a hundred
years, and where his botanical knowledge had been used in the growing of flowers
and herbs. It was from Aunt Rachel, I think, that we got the- anecdote, perhaps
handed down by Miss Betsey Langdon, the doctor's granddaughter, of the fine
speech made by a young man, fresh from a "term'" at the Exeter Academy (he was,
in my time, a chirping old man, fond of exhorting at Baptist meetings), when at Dr.
Langdon's parsonage tea-table he was asked by Miss Betsy if he would take cream
in his tea. " No," said the young rhetorician, " thank ye. Miss, the superduity ot
'.^j\ o;
THE NKW HAMPSIURr: WAY OF LIFE. 623
cream disturbs the tranquility of tea, and renders it quite obnoxious." Another
anecdote comn,onIy told in the same connection, but of a "school-ma'am/- fresh
trom Walkers then new dictionary, was this saying: "The Connetchicut buttcherflies
are the most be-eaut-chiful creachures in Xachure," the old pronunciation to uhich
Calhoun and Webster adhered being " creatur " and -natur "
But to return to my aunt. She had her romance in youth ; a pretty creature, she
had been wooed by a youth, who, wandering about the wider world little seen bv her
found some richer or more brilliant match, and broke olif the engagement. I never
saw him, and this had happened long before I was born, but rumors of it came down
o me, andl fancied I could see regrets for this dream of the past in Aunt Rachel's
lace, and in the tears I sometimes saw falling, as she spun patiently in the long
garret, where I sat and read the Waverley novels. Her sister, nine vears vounger,

Aun Rachel was often called upon to go to Brentwood, and look after the'youn..
family, and her delicate sister, who had inherited consumption from her mother-my
grandmother-who died eight years before I was born. Aunt Rachel took care of
her own mother, then of her father and sister in their last illness, and of many inva-
hds, who recovered or died. Especially was she called on by the Abbot familv, after
they left Hampton Falls for Windham, among the Scotch-Irish, to care for som'e inva-
lid, or nurse some young child ; and when Parson Abbot had been drowned, from his
boat, as he was crossing a Windham pond, to or from meeting, and his widow had
shown symptoms of the insanity which closed in upon her later vears, mv aun^
became a sort of aunt to the whole family. This, and her other nur'sing, call'ed her
much from home, and so I saw less of her than of Aunt Dollv. who was as much a
part of the old house as the oak arm-chair, or the chimnev-corner cat; but she
impressed my imagination more, and, when she had died, in 1849, I wrote some
verses about her which w^ere printed, and might be worth copying. Without gaining
that impress which gives a significance to the word "gentlewoman," so much aftected
now, she was gentle by nature and by grace, and deserves not to be forgotten • had I
a daughter, I would name her "Rachel."
Far be it from me to imply that all the rural residents of Xew Hampshire were as
gentle and unselfish as my dear aunt, or as public-spirited as Parson Abbot Vo
they were a mixed lot, and by no means the homogeneous English race that we some^
times think them,_still less, all of ancient gentry, entitled to crests and coats of
arms as some of the modern genealogists seem to fancy. The Yankee who said
that his ancestors mostly wore a coat without arms ,what mv grandfather called a
'no-sleeve jacket"), and sealed their letters with their thumbs, was not so far out of
the way concerning the New Hampshire population.
■ My long-time neighbor, and now housemate, Ellerv Channing, manv vears a-o had
occasion to sketch, humorously, but with a good view, one class of Xew England
men which "flourished," as the school-books say, from 1785 to i860, and which was
well represented in my youth, as thus :
624 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
" Does not this December weather — the extreme of summer, and the point of win-
ter's nose — recall to your mind our old friend Angelo, that late russet apple hanging
on the New England tree ? By himself now, — the survivor, we may say, of a long
line of such, — a relic of men that were old by virtue of having lived, young by reason
of not exhausting the good of life. Church, State, and Society generally Angelo
coldly omits, leaving their preservation to womankind. ' You do not go to meeting,'
said I once to him. 'No.' ' But why do n't you go? your sister does.' 'I don't
want to,' was his answer, — ' blast "em ! ' Singular ancient skeptic, — Angelo yet im-
presses me with a feeling of religion. In the intensity of his unbelief there is belief;
in the absoluteness of his hate there is love. He has Thomas Audley's opinion, who,
in 1600, said of English ministers, 'Their religion is a mere preach.'
" Be the day ever so fair, Angelo can pick a tiaw in it ere nightfall ; be the crop
ever so enormous, the veteran declares that ' Carn aint nothin' ; ' his homely pronun-
ciation smelling of earthworms and ground-nuts, husks of corn and hop-vines. Yel-
low he calls 'yaller,' moderate, ' mavvdrate ' ; and he said of a close day, 'Kind o'
seltry.' This rich alteration in his pronouncement. — this brave and noble contempt
for the rules of grammar, has long impressed me as a privilege, accorded to those
who rank high in the affections of the old god Tellus. Of course, Angelo is a hus-
bandman by constitution ; he reminds me of beans, plow-fields, deep grass, hoeing,
and corn-cake. Everything local, homely, rustic, square, is his. He has never rid-
den on the railroad, — not he. He was in Boston once, as a volunteer in the last
war, and has not gone there since. He has one book, ' Lives of the Buccaneers.'
He admires hens, kittens, robins, bluebirds, pigeons. His discourse sets me dream-
ing of valleys in New Hampshire, with a single cabin in their range, — vales where
new milk is plenty, sweet butter to be had, and a treat of maple syrup."
This was the face of New Hampshire which presented itself to the first visitors
from cities and from Europe, — Dr. Jacob Bigelow, the Channings, Miss Martineau,
etc., — as they went towards the White Hills, or along the lakes of Merrimack and
Belknap counties, driving in country wagons, or on the top of stage-coaches, with the
merry and familiar driver.
My brother, the Doctor, traversing the forest of Kilkenny, in the one stage road
through that abandoned mountain township, on a deer-shooting excursion with a
cousin famous for his shots at sea-fowl, heard this fable from the wagoner, a moun-
taineer Herrick :
"I was drivin' stage through this piece o' woods some years ago, when I come all
to once on a rabbit, settin' on the brush fence, an' cr^in' as if his heart would break.
Bein' a good-natured man, an' fond of askin' questions, I spose, — jest as you are. —
I stopt the bosses, and said, 'What ails ye there? kin a feller do anythin' to help
ye through yer trouble? ' The rabbit wiped his eyes with his tail as well as he could.
and said to me, ' Stranger, my father died last week, and left me two hundred acres
of this land, an' I 've got to g^t my livin' off on it ; ' an' then he burst out cryia' again.
'G'lang,' said I to the bosses, — -can't do a thing to help ye, if it's as bad as that." "
.r.!tj
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WAV OF LIFE.
62^
Such was the legend of the Kilkenny rabbit.
Channing goes on :
"Old New England is that out of which Angelo came, before the Revolution had
got well over, — when new rum flowed in rivers, and a luxurious plenty of living pre-
vailed. Sickle pears then grew like lumps of gold on high trees in solitary pastures, —
quails whistled out of the grass in each meadow, — and people got up at three c clock
in the morning. Then Angelo truly lived, — in those luxurious Revolutionary Arabian
Nights, — all liberty and mugs of tiip. He flourishes now but in stately dreams and
gorgeous reminiscence. Once did he broach for me the secret of those holy days.
"•'The world's turned upside down,' said he, ' sence I was a boy; there were cold,
long winters then, — solid, — and the bast o' hakkory wood fetched two dollars a cord.
Snow didn't fly off after 'twas once on, but lay there: summer was short — hat — all
yaller days. We used ter have things in abundance in them times, an" men used to
live twice as long as they do now, — old style, you know. Craps were somethin"
then; earn was paowerful. That's all over in these abauminable times, — an" I'm
sorry for it, — ain't you? '
"A hundred times has Angelo told me this melancholy tale, — on the fairest, clear-
est days, when Heaven was shining like a new dime, and the peace of Paradise shim-
mering in the sunlight; he standing in nelds deep with grass, in the midst of corn-
fields covered with drooping ears of promise, — and himself now gone over seventy
healthful summers. Tis so with true old-fashioned New Englanders ; no drop of
faith trickles through their souls. The railroad has proved their pest. — the abolition
of ' May trainin,' and the inroad of Irish laborers, whom more than poison they hate.
"Angelo raises in his garden beans, peppers, onions : he has a pole for hops, —
' haps,' as he says. Being so much in the society of vegetables, as he is. I once
turned his thoughts to flesh-diet, and told him of French soups. ' You,' — he replied
(a common mode he has of beginning discourse). • I like biled vittles.' ' So do I,'
was my answer; 'but let us put in the potatoes, carrots, peas, and salt, and omit the
meat.' ' You, — that 's all the fun on 't ! ' was his reply. I have never known him
tript in his discourse; his machine of wit is ever in good playing order, and he can
hit any object, from a flve-cent piece to a cardinal's hat. Of course he has the rheu-
matism, like every New England farmer, chews tobacco, never turns his shirt-sleeves
down, and is of a deep Indian red color.'
How many New Hampshire yeomen and farm hands have I seen of this marked
type, to which, if you add frequent intoxication, you get a more Rabelaisian sort,
like Thoreau's drunken Dutchman from Patchogue. " blurting forth some happy
repartee, like an illuminated swine, — the earthliest. slimiest wit you ever heard."
Such were the garrulous ornament of regimental musters, when ^as always in my
youth) the militia got together on some high, open held, to parade and be reviewed,
and indulge in a sham-fight. It was at an occasion of this kind that General Sulli-
van, Vv'ith his Revolutionary laurels thick upon him, and fresh, also, from putting
down the Rockingham rebellion of 17S6, reviewed my grandfather's troop of horse.

626 SANBORN GENEALOGY.
in which Cornet Brown was an officer. After various mamiruvres. this small band,
which had rallied at midnight to join the force of thousands mustered swiftly by Sul-
livan to put down the rioters, were drawn up to fire their horse-pistols in a volley.
After the discharge, Sullivan, running his eye down the booted rank, cried out, in
Irish scorn, "Where are the other two.' I counted only twenty-eight shots, and there
are thirty of ye."' But it must be said that the New Hampshire soldiery, however
awkward their muster, were never lacking in the day of battle, as Stark and Ciiley,
Miller of Peterborough, and the gigantic McNeil (President Pierce's brother-in-law),
could well attest. General Ciiley, then a captain before Bunker Hill, when asked by
a Bostonian who his stalwart Nottingham farmers and woodsmen were, replied :
" Full-blooded Yankees from Rockingham County, by God, who never turned their
backs on any man yet.'"
One thing is to be said for the rural population of New Hampshire, in which they
seem to nie to differ from the inhabitants of more southern New England. — they
have simpler and sounder notions of discipline, whether in war, or the ordinary politi-
cal and parochial affairs. Independent and original as they are. they yet know the
need of a leader, and readily follow one, — especially one they have tested. In the
French War, and at Bunker Hill (partly fought, as we know, by New Hampshire
men), they had learned the value of John Stark as a commander ; and when the
advance of Burgoyne's detachments into Vermont was to be checked, they rallied
from all over the little state, as soon as it was known that Stark would command
them; and it was New Hampshire soldiers, with some aid from Vermont and Berk-
shire, who broke the right arm of Burgoyne at Bennington. In politics, it has usually
been the same; the long-continued influence of Oilman and Langdon, of Plumer,
Isaac Hill, Frank Pierce, and other local magnates, was due to their gift of leader-
ship, and the instinct of their people for discipline. Another marked trait was their
fondness for lawsuits, and their great respect for the legal profession, whose members
were trained by the incessant give and take of the New Hampshire bar to a style of
forensic eloquence and close law-learning, of the practical sort, almost unequaled in
America. Webster and Mason are the brilliant examples of this eminence : but
William Plumer, Jeremiah Smith, father and son. — the latter still a law lecturer,
though his father fought at Saratoga and was a practising attorney in Washington's
first administration. — John P. Hale, the Bells, Judge Doe, and others, might be cited
in further proof. Common sense — that most uncommon quality — was the mark of
their judges, from those farmer-and-parson courts in which Weare and Farrar and
John Dudley sat, to their last great jurist, Charles Doe, whose rulings and charges
were unique. After listening to fine-spun suggestions from Caleb Gushing as to
mental capacity, in an important case, Judge Doe said. •• I am going to tel! the jury
that if this man knew what he was about, the transaction will stand: if he didn't,
it won't." As Judge Smith says, — "A look of unutterable disgust came over General
Cushing's intellectual countenance, but neither party exxepted." Again, he once
charged the jury in a criminal case, so,—" Gentlemen, / should nt want to convict the
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WAV OF LIFE. 627
prisoner on this evidence, but j'^// can do as you like."" It was for short-hand utter-
ances of this sort that Chief-Justice Parsons applauded Judge Dudley, saying he had
never seen justice better administered than in Rockingham County.
At the beginning of our century, however, physicians were in better odor in New
Hampshire than lawyers. Two of the three signers of the Declaration from the new
state were doctors — Bartlett and Thornton : and as the wigs of the clergy grew less,
and their pastoral power waned, the country doctor succeeded to much of their influ-
ence and prestige. This may be one reason why so many Sanborns have been phy-
sicians, and so few clergymen — the late Professor Sanborn of Dartmouth, father of
Miss Kate Sanborn, being one of the marked exceptions.
Nor was the practice of medicine in New Hampshire without its peculiar trials, —
apart from those hardships which Scott enumerates in the case of Mungo Park, who
found African exploration rather easier than Scotch country-practice. The regular
profession had to encounter, early in the century, the vigorous quackery of Samuel
Thomson, who, in 1S13, took out a patent for the use of lobelia and other " botanic ''
medicines, which gained much popularity, and were extant when I was a boy. — for I
have endured his infusions of cayenne pepper, lobelia, etc., and profited by his
vapor-baths, in which he foreshadowed the more renowned Turkish bath, introduced
into civilized countries by Dr. Julius Millingen, one of Byron's physicians at Misso-
longhi, and his friend, David Urquhart. Thomson combined his medical practice
with the equally vigorous assaults of Abner Kneeland. himself perhaps a New
Hampshire man, on the popular theology; and between them they contrived much
trouble for the ministers and physicians. New Hampshire was good soil for such
heresies with its self-willed people.
The old doctor, driving over three or four towns in his chaise or " sulky,"" was a
marked character. A girl whom I knew said that her lirst idea of God was that he
must look like old Dr. Dearborn — a distant relative of Jefferson's cabinet-minister,
Gen. Dearborn — as he passed along the highway in his tall, narrow sulky. In their
practice they frequently came to great reputation (Dr. William Perry of Exeter and
Dr. Amos Twitchell of Keene, for example"), and acquired unfailing skill. They
were quite often active politicians, as were the Methodist ministers, and both classes
were well represented in Congress. Politics excited the New Hampshire people
greatly at all times, and nowhere were the elections more hotly contested or the
amenities less regarded in the preliminary "campaign."' From a Federalist state, as
New Hampshire was under \^'ashington and the elder Adams — though often electing
the handsome and polished John Langdon senator or governor, though a Democrat —
it followed William Plumer into the party of Jefferson, and^ did not cordially support
Webster, while he represented Rockingham in Congress. It voted for Plumer's
friend, the younger Adams, for president in 1S24, but went over to Jackson in 1S28,
and thenceforward remained firmly Democratic until 1S46, when John P. Hale's
revolt against the " Concord Regency " on the Texas question caused an overturn,

In the years I am dealing with, bribery at elections was practically unknown, and
it would have ruined the reputation of a farmer or mechanic to have it supposed he
had sold his vote. There was great distrust of corporations, whether for manufactur-
ng or railroad purposes, and it was years before they received liberal treatment in
the legislature or the courts. Debts were collected by attachment and '• distress.''
and, in the early century, imprisonment for debt was common, and often lasted for
years. A Revolutionary character of mixed reputation, Gen. Nathaniel Peabody.
was one of these imprisoned debtors, but had the liberty of the town f Exeterj where
the jail was. It is related that a book-agent— there were such even ninety years ago
— once approached the venerable-looking general in the street of Exeter, and offered
him a subscription-book, '-The Christian's Greatest Interest." General Peabody
declined politely to take the work, but said, "Young man, I can tell you what the
Christian's greatest interest is in New Hampshire, for I have had experience of it, —
12 per cent, and from that to iS and 24."
There was, indeed, little wealth in New Hampshire, and when money was to be
borrowed the rate of interest was often high, and the farmer or lawyer who could
command capital made a modest fortune easily by loaning it in small sums to his
hard-working, honest neighbors. The hours of labor were long — in haying-time
often fifteen — and this because farm-machinery and improved tools, so common now,
were almost unknown. Although a simple form of the horse-rake was in use by
1830, many farmers, for twenty years after, made great use of the slow hand-rake:
and the "cradle " for grain slowly supplanted the sickle, for as yet there were neither
mowing nor reaping machines. Threshing also was largely done with the flail, as
represented in Dudley Leavitt's New Hampshire Almanac, and the wood-saw gained
slowly on the chopper's axe in preparing tire-wood. Soap was made by each rural
household out of its own ashes, and grease, with purchased lime, in great " mash-
tubs " near the kitchen door. A story is told of a traveler in the mountain region in
summer, who came upon persons digging at the bottom of a great hole. Being
asked what they were doing, the head man replied, '• My wife is making soap to-day,
and she says snow three years old is the best to put in the kettle, so J am getting it
for her." Like this .belated snow, the New Hampshire people were often held by
their more southern neighbors to be behind the times, yet they have managed to
give a good account of themselves at the end of the century, and whenever, during
its progress, things of importance were to be done.
INDEXES.
In the English and Colonial Indexes, \.\i& references are to pages; in the Indexes to American
Genealogy they refer to the co)tsecntize genealogical numbers of the persons inde.\ed.
In the English Index, owing to the limited area referred to, and the fact that the English map
shows the locations in detail, I have included places as well as persons. In the Arncrican Ittdex the
great scope of territory involved makes this impracticable, nor would the place inde.x be of real value.
In the Index to Auierican Genealogy I have included only those who lived to adult age.
